Famous quote by F. Scott Fitzgerald

"I'm a romantic; a sentimental person thinks things will last, a romantic person hopes against hope that they won't"

About this Quote

This quote by F. Scott Fitzgerald speaks with the distinction between a romantic and a sentimental individual. A nostalgic person is somebody who believes that things will last forever, while a romantic individual is someone who hopes that things won't last permanently. This quote suggests that a romantic person is somebody who wants to take threats and embrace the uncertainty of life, while a sentimental individual is somebody who prefers to stay in their comfort zone and cling to the familiar. A romantic person is someone who is willing to take a chance on something brand-new, even if it indicates that it won't last forever. They want to take the danger of being disappointed, due to the fact that they believe that the possible benefit is worth it. An emotional individual, on the other hand, is someone who chooses to stay in their comfort zone and hold on to the familiar. They hesitate to take threats and choose to remain in the security of the understood.
