The Great Gatsby

"A little party never killed anybody."

"No amount of fire or freshness can challenge what a man will store up in his ghostly heart."

"I was within and without, simultaneously enchanted and repelled by the inexhaustible variety of life."

"Rich, deep sighs, as though she wanted to tell something and had given up."

"There are only the pursued, the pursuing, the busy, and the tired."

"All the bright precious things fade so fast."

"Can't repeat the past? Why of course you can!"

"Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us."

"The truth is, he's worth the whole damn bunch put together."

"I hope she'll be a fool—that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool."

"They're a rotten crowd. You're worth the whole damn bunch put together."

"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."

"Reserving judgments is a matter of infinite hope."

"We are all fools."

"I want my life back."

"The most exhilarating moment is the moment of possible things."

"So we all do, always, in the end."

"The green light was no longer there."

"In the end, we are all alone."

"I just want to be safe."

"The lamp-light strained on her pale cheeks."

"I never loved him."

"I love you now."

"What was that unpleasant business about?"

"I've done a terrible thing."

"One should always be drunk."

"I'm paralyzed by the thought of living."

"There are only the pursued, the pursuing, the busy and the tired."

"The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas at the same time."

"I thought you were rather an honest, straightforward person."
