Nick Carraway Quotes

Only Gatsby, the man who gives his name to this book, was exempt from my reaction -- Gatsby, who represented everything for which I have an unaffected scorn ...

F. Scott Fitzgerald

No amount of fire or freshness can challenge what a man will store up in his ghostly heart.

F. Scott Fitzgerald
