More From F. Scott Fitzgerald

People have said over the years that the reason i did not give up my seat was because i was tired. i did not think of being physically tired. my feet were not hurting. i was tired in a different way. i was tired of seeing so many men treated as boys and not called by their proper names or titles. i was tired of seeing children and women mistreated and disrespected because of the color of their skin. i was tired of jim crow laws, of legally enforced racial segregation.
Hurt Children Giving Up
We hurt people by being too busy. too busy to notice their needs. too busy to drop that note of comfort or encouragement or assurance of love. too busy to listen when someone needs to talk. too busy to care.
Christian Encouragement Hurt
I'm rightly tired of the pain i hear and feel, boss. i'm tired of bein on the road, lonely as a robin in the rain. not never havin no buddy to go on with or tell me where we's comin from or goin to or why. i'm tired of people bein ugly to each other. it feels like pieces of glass in my head. i'm tired of all the times i've wanted to help and couldn't. i'm tired of bein in the dark. mostly it's the pain. there's too much. if i could end it, i would. but i can't.
Lonely Pain Rain
I do remember, one time, a man came to me after the students began to work in mississippi and he said the white people were getting tired and they were getting tense and anything might happen. well, i asked him "how long he thinks we had been getting tired"? i have been tired for 46 years and my parents was tired before me and their parents were tired, and i have always wanted to do something that would help some of the things i would see going on among negroes that i didn't like and i don't like now.
Tired Men Thinking
The first thing i think about when i wake up most mornings is the fact that i'm tired. i have been tired for decades. i am tired in the morning and i am tired while becalmed in the slough of the afternoon, and i am tired in the evening, except right when i try to go to sleep.
Morning Sleep Tired
Keep me preoccupied keep me busy, busy, busy so i won't have to think i don't want to think because it only brings me pain i just keep running away from my problems keep me busy give me a million things to do so i can keep running away from myself.

Similar Quotes
Unless you're fond of hollering you don't make great conversations on a running cycle. instead you spend your time being aware of things and meditating on them. on sights and sounds, on the mood of the weather and things remembered, on the machine and the countryside you're in, thinking about things at great leisure and length without being hurried and without feeling you're losing time.
Running Thinking Sight
Odd, the years it took to learn one simple fact: that the prize just ahead, the next job, publication, love affair, marriage always seemed to hold the key to satisfaction but never, in the longer run, sufficed.
Running Jobs Simple
Look, i admit you seem like a decent person. for all i know you stop and move turtles out of the road whenever you see one to keep someone from running it over. but this turtle is tired of having its guts spattered on the pavement while other people drive right over him. i just want to scrape myself up and hide in the woods, okay?
