F. Scott Fitzgerald Quotes on Value

4 quotes

  1. It was an amazing predicament. He was, in one sense, the richest man that ever lived-and yet was he worth anything at all?

  3. The farmers may be the backbone of the country, but who wants to be a backbone?

  4. An unread book is just a block of paper.
