You see I usually find myself among strangers because I drif... - F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

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

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

"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."

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

"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."
