Wuthering Heights

“No personality as strong as Zelda's could go without getting criticisms and as you say she is not above reproach. I've always known that. Any girl who gets stewed in public, who frankly enjoys and tells shocking stories, who smokes constantly and makes the remark that she has "kissed thousands of men and intends to kiss thousands more," cannot be considered beyond reproach even if above it. But Isabelle 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 that she should be.

But of course the real reason, Isabelle, is that I love her and that's the beginning and end of everything. You're still a Catholic but Zelda's the only God I have left now.”

“然而我爱她的勇敢、真诚和如火的自尊。我信仰这些品质，即使整个世界都愉快而不加考量地质疑她的离经叛道。

而我的选择背后真正的原因，Isabelle，当然是因为我爱她。这就是一切的开始与终结。你还是个天主教徒，而我的上帝只剩下Zelda了。”

1920年Fitzgerald回复朋友Isabelle Amorous质疑他与Zelda订婚后又告吹事件的信件节选。Fitzgerald出身于天主教家庭，后放弃信仰。
