You write nonfiction wonderfully well, your observations are brilliant and acute....I always wanted you to do such as book as that. ---Maxwell Perkins--- (1936 letter to F. Scott Fitzgerald)

Bring It On
In his literature, Scott Fitzgerald had the extraordinary talent to bring you face to face with what you were and what you thought you were, questioning your certainties, leaving you free to lose yourself in the eloquence of his words. ---Tiziano Brignoli--- (On F. Scott Fitzgerald)

The Magicians
I honestly believed that with no effort on my part I was a sort of magician with words---an odd delusion on my part when I had worked so desperately hard to develop a hard, colorful prose style. ---F. Scott Fitzgerald--- (1937 letter to his daughter)
an image with the quote following closely with his exressive glance, he really listened while the other person talked
Following closely with his expressive glance, he really listened while the other person talked, and his answers were whimsical and incisive, with a seriousness back of his fleeting smile. ---Andrew Turnbull--- (On F. Scott Fitzgerald)

The End
Violet
Musical
Without disrespect to him I put Hemingway down at the infrared side and you on the ultra-violet. His rhythm is like the beating of an African tom-tom---primitive, simple, but it gets you in the end. You are on the other end. You have a feeling for musical intervals and the tone-color of words which makes your prose the finest instrument for rendering all the varied shades of our complex emotional states. ---Dean Gauss--- (In a letter to Fitzgerald)
a poem written in black ink on pink paper with the words, what he admired about gerald murphy
Diver
To Draw
What he admired about Gerald [Murphy] he put into the character of Dick Diver....above all [Gerald] Murphy's appreciation of others, his power to draw them out and see the best in them. It was a quality Murphy shared with men as unlike him as Father Fay, Max Perkins, and Dean Gauss---a quality prized by Fitzgerald, who had a great deal of it himself. ---Andrew Turnbull---

To understand how Fitzgerald matured between The Beautiful and Damned and The Great Gatsby one must search within Fitzgerald's mind and art, not outside him. ---Robert Sklar---

The Darkest
What one expresses in a work of art is the dark tragic destiny of being an instrument of something uncomprehended, incomprehensible, unknown. ---F. Scott Fitzgerald--- (1932 letter to Zelda Fitzgerald)

The Spirit
The idea of the comrades going back into the fight in the spirit of 'My head is bloody but unbowed' is infinitely stronger and more cheerful than that they should be quitting---all the fine talk, the death of their friends and countrymen in vain. ---F. Scott Fitzgerald--- (1938 letter to Eddie Mannix and Sam Katz at MGM)

Look On
When He
I Can
Scott Fitzgerald...was on firm ground when he begged me to keep novel writing and propaganda separate. Even a touch of propaganda would ruin my work if it hadn't ruined it already. I can still remember the scornful look on his pale face. ---John Dos Passos---

The Circle
The Real World
Glee
I have lived so long within the circle of this book and with these characters that often it seems to me that the real world does not exist but that only these characters exist....so much so that their glees and woes are just exactly as important to me as what happens in life. ---F. Scott Fitzgerald--- (1934 letter to Maxwell Perkins)

How To Memorize Things
So many of your memorable remarks come often to my head, and they seem to survive in a way that very little current wisdom does. ---F. Scott Fitzgerald--- (1932 letter to Gertrude Stein)

How To Plan
In France, any military book of real tactical or strategical importance, theoretical or fully documented (usually the latter)....They are mostly published by Payots here....English Translations should be available in all academies, army service schools, staff schools....It seems to me that it would be a great patriotic service to consult the war-department bookbuyers on some subsidy plan to bring out a tentative dozen of the most important. ---F.
