""Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone, just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.""
""I hope she’ll be a fool—that’s the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool.""
""Can’t repeat the past?" he cried incredulously. "Why of course you can!""
""You’re worth the whole damn bunch put together.""
""So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.""
""Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgiastic future that year by year recedes before us.""
