"I wanted no more than that."

"The letter can't get there for two weeks at least."

"I want to know who you are."

"I am still awed by the creative spirit."

"A woman should be able to do anything."

"What do people talk about in these interludes of business?"

"I am still awed by the creative spirit."

"Action is eloquence."

"I've been everywhere and seen everything and done everything."

"Dishonesty in a woman is a thing you never blame deeply."

"The only thing that sustains me is the thought of love."

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

"Her voice is full of money."

"Why of course you can!"

"You can't repeat the past."

"Enthusiasm is not a suitable response to anything."

"Rich people are different from you and me."

"The past cannot be repeated. The only thing we can do is to move forward."

"It is what it is, and I owe them that much."

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