F. Scott Fitzgerald: “I fell in love with her courage"

Quote:

“I fell in love with her courage, her sincerity, and her flaming self respect. And it’s these things I’d believe in, even if the whole world indulged in wild suspicions that she wasn’t all she should be. I love her and it is the beginning of everything.”

– F. Scott Fitzgerald, about his wife Zelda

Scott Fitzgerald wearing a light-colored suit and Zelda in a knee-length dress. They are posing together with a wooden fence in the background, surrounded by foliage that suggests a garden setting. — F. Scott Fitzgerald and Zelda, 1921
