F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald




“Actually that’s my secret — I can’t even talk about you to anybody because I don’t want any more people to know how wonderful you are."
                                                                               - F


“Nobody has ever measured, not even poets, how much the heart can hold.”
 
 Z




"To write it, it took three months; to conceive it three minutes; to collect the data in it all my life."
                   - F




“We walked at night towards a cafe blooming with Japanese lanterns and I followed your white shoes gleaming like radium in the damp darkness. Rising off the water, lights flickered an invitation far enough away to be interpreted as we liked; to shimmer glamourously behind the silhouette of retrospective good times when we still believed in summer hotels and the philosophies of popular songs.” 
      ―Z


"He was going to live in New York, and be known at every restaurant and café, wearing a dress suit from early evening to early morning, sleeping away the dull hours of the forenoon."

                           -F, This Side of Paradise


“What'll we do with ourselves this afternoon? And the day after that, and the the next thirty years?”   
                                                                                                                                   - F
