“We were the great believers”

In
Zelda Fitzgerald,
Nancy Milford quotes Fitzgerald as having written in the then-unpublished essay “My Generation”: “So you see that old libel that we were cynics and skeptics was nonsense from the beginning. On the contrary we were the great believers.” In fact, in that essay Fitzgerald writes only: “We were the great believers.” (See “My Generation,” in
My Lost City: Personal
Essays,
p. 192.) The credit for the rest of the quotation, which has widely circulated, appears to belong to Milford.
