A review by adina_viorela
The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
4.0
I haven't annotated a book so much in a WHILE so here are some good quotes which are hopefully not gonna spoil the fun of reading this book:
↬"In his blue gardens men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings and the champagne and the stars."
↬"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. [...] Sometimes they came and went without having met Gatsby at all, came for the party with a simplicity of heart that was its own ticket of admission. "
↬"He knew women early and since they spoiled him he became contemptuous of them, of young virgins because they were ignorant, of the others because they were hysterical about things which in his overwhelming self-absorbtion he took for granted."
↬" “She’s got an indiscreet voice,” I remarked. “It’s full of—” I hesitated.
“Her voice is full of money,” he [Gatsby] said suddenly.
That was it. I’d never understood before. It was full of money—that was the inexhaustible charm that rose and fell in it, the jingle of it, the cymbals’ song of it."
