Human sympathy has its limits. - F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

"The loneliest moment in someone’s life is when they are watching their whole world fall apart, and all they can do is stare blankly."

"Every one suspects himself of at least one of the cardinal virtues, and this is mine: I am one of the few honest people that I have ever known."

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

"I wasn't actually in love, but I felt a sort of tender curiosity."

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