"Nobody has ever measured, not even poets, how much the heart can hold."
"Spinach and champagne. Going back to the kitchens at the old Waldorf. Dancing on the kitchen tables, wearing the chef's headgear. Finally, a crash and being escorted out by the house detectives."

More quotes by Zelda Fitzgerald
"The Flapper awoke from her lethargy of sub-deb-ism, bobbed her hair, put on her choicest pair of earrings and a great deal of audacity and rouge and went into the battle. She flirted because it was fun to flirt and wore a one-piece bathing suit because she had a good figure she was conscious that the things she did were the things she had always wanted to do. Mothers disapproved of their sons taking the Flapper to dances, to teas, to swim and most of all to heart."
"She quietly expected great things to happen to her, and no doubt that’s one of the reasons why they did."
"Look closer and you'll see something extraordinary, mystifying, something real and true. We have never been what we seemed."
"She refused to be bored chiefly because she wasn't boring."
"I don't want to live. I want to love first, and live incidentally."
