F. Scott Fitzgerald Quotes

«There must have been moments even that afternoon when Daisy tumbled short of his dreams ? no through her own fault but because of the colossal vitality of his illusion. It had gone beyond her, beyond everything. He had thrown himself into it with a creative passion?»
«[Gatsby] wanted to recover something, some idea of himself perhaps, that had gone into loving Daisy. His life had been confused and disordered since then, but if he could once return to a certain starting place and go over it all slowly, he could find out what that thing was.»
«Genius goes around the world in its youth incessantly apologizing for having large feet. What wonder that later in life it should be inclined to raise those feet too swiftly to fools and bores.»
«I became aware of the old island here that flowered once for Dutch sailors? eyes ? a fresh, green breast of the new world. Its vanished trees, the trees that had made way for Gatsby?s house, had once pandered in whispers to the last and greatest of all human dreams; for a transitory enchanted moment man must have held his breath in the presence of this continent, compelled into an aesthetic contemplation he neither understood nor desired, face to face for the last time in history with something commensurate to his capacity for wonder.»
«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.»
«Let us learn to show our friendship for a man when he is alive and not after he is dead.»
«Daisy, gleaming like silver, safe and proud above the hot struggles of the poor»
«Gatsby turned out all right at the end; it is what preyed on Gatsby, what foul dust floated in the wake of his dreams that temporarily closed out my interest in the abortive sorrows and short-winded elations of men.»
«Can?t repeat the past??Why of course you can!»
«Gatsby's wonder when he first picked out the green light at the end of Daisy's dock....his dream must have seemed so close that he could hardly fail to grasp it. He did not know that it was already behind him.»
