Francis Scott Fitzgerald
Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald was an American writer of novels and short stories, whose works have been seen as evocative of the Jazz Age, a term he himself allegedly coined. He is regarded as one of the greatest twentieth century writers. Fitzgerald was of the self-styled "Lost Generation," Americans born in the 1890s who came of age during World War I. He finished four novels, left a fifth unfinished, and wrote dozens of short stories that treat themes of youth, despair, and age. He was married to Zelda Fitzgerald.

“e continuiamo a remare, barche contro corrente, risospinti senza posa nel passato.”

“Durante cierto tiempo, estos ensueños dotaron de una salida a su imaginación, fueron satisfactoria indicación de la irrealidad de la realidad, promesa de que la roca del mundo está fuertemente asentada en las alas de un hada.”

“I'm not much like myself any more.”

“L'intimità si crea così. Prima si dà il miglior ritratto di se stesso, un prodotto splendente e rifinito, ritoccato di vanterie e falsità e umorismi. Poi diventano necessari i particolari e si dipinge un secondo ritratto e poi un terzo... In breve i lineamenti migliori si cancellano... e finalmente si rivela il segreto: i piani dei ritratti si sono mescolati e ci hanno tradito, e per quanto continuiamo a dipingere non riusciamo più a vendere un quadro.”
Francis Scott Fitzgerald
“good manners are an admission that everybody is so tender that they have to be handle with gloves.”
