Some of my favorite quotes from Gatsby...
  •  “Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone,” my father told me, “just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.”
  • In describing Gatsby... "If personality is an unbroken series of successful gestures, then there was something gorgeous about him, some heightened sensitivity to the promises of life, as if he were related to one of those intricate machines that register earthquakes ten thousand miles away.
  • And perhaps my favorite of all... "Something was making him nibble at the edge of stale ideas as if his sturdy physical egotism no longer nourished his peremptory heart.”
