For those that aren't familiar with F. Scott Fitzgerald, he is the genius behind the beautiful novel "The Great Gatsby." Besides his famous book, Fitzgerald wrote short stories where his most profound thoughts inspired and comforted many. To shed some light and for those that aren't much into the literature world, here is what F. Scott Fitzgerald has to say.

1. “That is part of the beauty of all literature. You discover that your longings are universal longings, that you're not lonely and isolated from anyone. You belong."

2. "For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.” - Attributed to F. Scott Fitzgerald in response to “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”

3. "There are all kinds of love in this world but never the same love twice."

4. “It’s a funny thing about coming home. Looks the same, smells the same, feels the same. You realize what has changed is you.”

5. “There’s a loneliness that only exists in one’s mind. The loneliest moment in someone’s life is when they are watching their whole world fall apart, and all they can do is stare blankly.”

6. “I hope you live a life you are proud of; if you find you are not, I hope you find the strength to start over all over again.”

7. "I was within and without, simultaneously enchanted and repelled by the inexhaustible variety of life."

8. “She was beautiful, but not like those girls in the magazines. She was beautiful, for the way she thought. She was beautiful, for the sparkle in her eyes when she talked about something she loved. She was beautiful, for her ability to make other people smile, even if she was sad. No, she wasn't beautiful for something as temporary as her looks. She was beautiful, deep down to her soul. She is beautiful.”

9. “Things are sweeter when they're lost. I know--because once I wanted something and got it. It was the only thing I ever wanted badly, Dot, and when I got it it turned to dust in my hand."

10. “Whenever you feel like criticizing any one...just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had.”

11. “The world only exists in your eyes. You can make it as big or as small as you want.”
