"The compensation of a very early success is a conviction that life is a romantic matter. In the best sense one stays young"

- F. Scott Fitzgerald

About this Quote

F. Scott Fitzgerald's quote speaks to the concept that achieving success at a young age can result in a sensation of invincibility and a belief that life has lots of possibilities. This can be seen as a positive outlook, as it encourages a person to stay optimistic and to take risks. However, it can also be seen as an unfavorable outlook, as it can lead to a false sense of security and a lack of appreciation for the truths of life. Fitzgerald's quote recommends that the very best way to maintain a vibrant outlook is to stay knowledgeable about the realities of life while still accepting the possibilities that include success. By doing so, one can remain young at heart and delight in the romanticism of life without ending up being contented or jaded.
