A quote of Scott Fitzgerald

The full quote often attributed to F. Scott Fitzgerald is: "For what it's worth: It's never too late or too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same; there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of, and if you’re not, I hope you have the courage to start over again." However, it is important to note that there is no evidence this quote was written by Fitzgerald. It is widely circulated but likely comes from a screenplay adaptation inspired by his works, such as The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
