It is through the eyes
of Nick Carraway that we see the story of Fitzgerald's "The Great
Gatsby" unfold. Based in the 1920s America, this novel relates the
story of Jay Gatsby and his American dream. However, this dream is
stained as it is money and not ideals that appears to drive the
characters of the novel. But then, as the following "The Great
Gatsby" quotes suggest, these are realistic characters with hopes,
dreams and limitations. On reading these "The Great Gatsby" quotes,
I could not help identifying with the emotions and beliefs of some
of these characters.
* 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. It eluded us then, but that’s no matter -- tomorrow we will run
faster, stretch out our arms farther.
* God knows what you've
been doing, everything you've been doing. You may fool me, but you
can't fool God!
* He knew women early,
and since they spoiled him he became contemptuous of them, of young
virgins because they were ignorant, of the others because they were
hysterical about things which in his overwhelming self-absorption
he took for granted.
* He thinks she goes to
see her sister in New York. He's so dumb he doesn't know he's
alive.
* Her voice is full of
money.
* I believe that on the
first night I went to Gatsby's house I was one of the few guests
who had actually been invited. People were not invited -- they went
there.
* ...personality is an
unbroken series of successful gestures.
* Reserving judgements
is a matter of infinite hope.
* The rich get richer
and the poor get -- children.
* There is no confusion
like the confusion of a simple mind...
* What realism! Knew
when to stop, too -- didn’t cut the pages. But what do you want?
What do you expect?
