Hemingway on Zelda Fitzgerald

From A Moveable Feast by Ernest Hemingway (1964) published posthumously

"He (F. Scott Fitzgerald) had many good, good friends, more than anyone I knew. But I enlisted as one more, whether I could be of any use to him or not. If he could write a book as fine as The Great Gatsby I was sure that he could write an even better one. I did not know Zelda yet, and so I did not know the terrible odds that were against him. But we were to find them out soon enough."
