F. Scott Fitzgerald

"Though the Jazz Age continued it became less and less an affair of youth. The sequel was like a children's party taken over by the elders."

"Great art is the contempt of a great man for small art."

"The compensation of a very early success is a conviction that life is a romantic matter. In the best sense one stays young."

"Advertising is a racket, like the movies and the brokerage business. You cannot be honest without admitting that its constructive contribution to humanity is exactly minus zero."

"Genius is the ability to put into effect what is on your mind."

"Family quarrels are bitter things. They don't go according to any rules. They're not like aches or wounds, they're more like splits in the skin that won't heal because there's not enough material."
