Gatsby Quotes Flashcards
Extraordinary gift
of hope

like wheat into ridges and hills and grotesque gardens

simultaneously enchanted and repelled by the inexhaustible variety of life

They’re a rotten crowd’, I shouted across the lawn.
‘You’re worth the whole damn bunch put together.”
If personality is an unbroken series of successful gestures,
then there was something gorgeous about him.’
