I’ve been drunk for about a week now, and I thought it might... - F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

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

"Let us learn to show our friendship for a man when he is alive and not after he is dead."

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

"And I like large parties. They’re so intimate. At small parties there isn’t any privacy."

"Angry, and half in love with her, and tremendously sorry, I turned away."
