Words Wednesday: F. Scott Fitzgerald
Happy Words Wednesday! Today we’re featuring one of our favorite F. Scott Fitzgerald quotes.
This F. Scott Fitzgerald quote comes from This Side of Paradise, which came out in 1920 and was the author’s first published novel. This Side of Paradise follows young Amory Blaine, who leaves his home in the Midwest to begin college at Princeton University. The novel received fairly positive reviews when it was first released, but it has never gained the public acclaim of Fitzgerald’s other works (like The Great Gatsby).
It was always the becoming he dreamed of, never the being.
-F. Scott Fitzgerald, This Side of Paradise
