Best quotes from The Great Gatsby
"I HOPE she'll be a fool--that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool... You see, I think everything's terrible anyhow... And I know. I've been everywhere and seen everything and done everything."
"I MARRIED him because I thought he was a gentleman...I thought he knew something about breeding, but he wasn't fit to lick my shoe."
"I'VE been drunk for about a week now, and I thought it might sober me up to sit in a library."
"IT takes two to make an accident."
"WHENEVER you feel like criticizing any one...just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had."
"IN two weeks it'll be the longest day in the year... Do you always watch for the longest day of the year and then miss it? I always watch for the longest day in the year and then miss it."
"I FELT a haunting loneliness sometimes, and felt it in others--young clerks in the dusk, wasting the most poignant moments of night and life."
"IT is invariably saddening to look through new eyes at things upon which you have expended your own powers of adjustment."
"CAN'T repeat the past?... Why of course you can!"
