Jack Dawson:
Penniless artist who wins a ticket onto Titanic in 1912,
attends a first class dinner, develops a taste for the finer things in life,
pockets the Heart of the Ocean, survives the sinking, pawns the diamond,
spends the following ten years building his wealth
and in 1922 moves to West Egg as Jay Gatsby,
millionaire with a shade past and fear of swimming pools.

“
They smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.

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.

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

The sexual tension when you and your crush
are on Facebook at the same time,
and you just stare at the little green dot.
And suddenly you know what Gatsby felt like.
^Yes, I stole this from Tumblr, but this is just too relevant.

“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 our arms out farther...And one fine morning-- And so we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald

Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful
Will you still love me when I got nothing but my aching soul
I know you will, I know you will
