“
But his heart was in a constant, turbulent riot. The most grotesque and fantastic conceits haunted him in his bed at night. A universe of ineffable gaudiness spun itself out in his brain while the clock ticked on the wash-stand and the moon soaked with wet light his tangled clothes upon the floor. Each night he added to the pattern of his fancies until drowsiness closed down upon some vivid scene with an oblivious embrace. For a while these reveries provided an outlet for his imagination; they were a satisfactory hint of the unreality of reality, a promise that the rock of the world was founded securely on a fairy’s wing.
—F Scott Fitzgerald | ‘The Great Gatsby’

And she wanted for a moment to hold and devour him, wanted his mouth, his ears, his coat collar, wanted to surround him and engulf him.

You loved me the other day. You wanted me to sit beside you in the dark. Didn’t I feel it– didn’t I know? There’s something between us, a sort of pull. Something you always do to me and I to you.

Life just hurts people and hurts people, until finally it hurts them so that they can’t be hurt ever any more. That’s the last and worst thing it does.

You’re trying to leave yourself behind, but you can’t. The more you try to run away from yourself, the more you’ll have yourself with you.

Long ago, there was something in me, but now that thing is gone. Now that thing is gone, that thing is gone. I cannot cry. I cannot care. That thing will come back no more.

the great gatsby is just hilarious because
nick, the narrator, begins by talking about the advice
his father gave him when he was younger.
"whenever you feel like criticising any one just
remember that all the people in this world haven't had
the advantages that you've had."
he explains how this caused him to "reserve all judgements"
but he then spends the next 200 pages judging everyone

"her face was sad and lovely with bright things in it,
bright eyes and a bright passionate mouth,
but there was an excitement in her voice that men who had cared for her found difficult to forget:
a singing compulsion, a whispered "listen,"
a promise that she had done gay, exciting things just a while since
and that there were gay, exciting things hovering in the next hour."
