“You don't write because you want to say something, you write because you have something to say.”
On the 1920s: “The parties were bigger. The pace was faster, the shows were broader, the buildings were higher,
the morals were looser, and the liquor was cheaper.” – in "The Great Gatsby" [1925]
“The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function.”
“There are all kinds of love in this world but never the same love twice.”
“Sometimes it is harder to deprive oneself of a pain than of a pleasure.”
— F. Scott Fitzgerald

"The Last Tycoon" [Scribner 1941]
When Fitzgerald died in December 1940, his fifth novel, entitled "The Loves of The Last Tycoon: A Western", was unfinished. Critic Edmund Wilson made all sorts of changes and the book was published posthumously in 1941. After several b&w network TV productions, director Elia Kazan made a color feature film in 1976 starring Robert De Niro & Robert Mitchum. Fitzgerald scholar Matthew J. Bruccoli got permission from the Fitzgerald Estate to re-edit the original unfinished manuscript and notes, producing a book supposedly fulfilling Fitzgerald's intent, which was published in 1993.

John Biggs Jr. [1895-1979] was Scott Fitzgerald’s Princeton roommate who became a Wilmington, Delaware attorney, and eventually
chief judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals Third Circuit; when Fitzgerald died in 1940, Biggs served as executor of the estate.
Gerald Clery Murphy [1888-1964] and Sara Sherman Wiborg Murphy [1883-1975]
Gerald & Sara vacationed at Cap d'Antibes in 1921; the next year they bought a house there and renamed it Villa America; they invited Pablo Picasso, Ernest
Hemingway, Igor Stravinsky, Cole Porter, Scott Fitzgerald, and others to visit them; the main characters in "Tender Is The Night' [1934] were based on the Murphys.
