While achieving limited success in his lifetime, F. Scott Fitzgerald is now regarded as one of the greatest American writers of the 20th century. He is renowned for his most brilliant novel The Great Gatsby and for his turbulent private life, with his wife, Zelda. Whatever the couple went through was almost as celebrated as the writer’s work.
Fitzgerald became famous at the age of 24 after publishing his first novel This Side of Paradise. Its success made it possible for him to marry his muse, Zelda Sayre, the daughter of an Alabama Supreme Court judge.
Sadly, at some point Fitzgerald descended into drinking and his wife suffered a mental breakdown from which she never recovered. The little roads to Zelda’s sanitarium and her struggle with mental illness inspired Fitzgerald’s fourth novel -- Tender is the Night. This seems to be the author’s most moving book, even though it wasn’t a commercial success.
Fitzgerald’s last novel was only half-finished when he died of a heart attack at 44 years old. The Love of the Last Tycoon was published posthumously.
Enjoy the following 20 F. Scott Fitzgerald quotes on life and matters of the heart.

Never confuse a single defeat with a final defeat.
