Great Gatsby Excerpts
Following is some inspiration for the event from "The Great Gatsby."
"I believe that on the first night I went to Gatsby's house I was one of the few guests who had actually been invited. People were not invited--they went there." - F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, Ch. 3
"Daisy and Jordan lay upon an enormous couch, like silver idols weighing down their own white dresses against the singing breeze of the fans." - F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, Ch. 7
"I love New York on summer afternoons when everyone's away. There's something very sensuous about it - overripe, as if all sorts of funny fruits were going to fall into your hands." - F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, Ch. 7
Whenever you feel like criticizing any one...just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had." - F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, Ch. 1
"And as I sat there, brooding on the old, unknown world, I thought of Gatsby's wonder when he first picked out Daisy's light at the end of his dock. He had come such a long way to this blue lawn, and his dream must have seemed so close he could hardly fail to grasp it. But what he did not know was that it was already behind him, somewhere in the vast obscurity beyond the city, where the dark fields of the republic rolled on under the night." - F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, Ch. 9
