"Daisy Buchanan doesnt have to be likable to be interesting, most of what makes her unlikeable -her sense of entitlement, her limited empathy, her inability to make difficult choices -are the very things that make YOU unlikable."

"Nick : You can't repeat the past." "Gatsby : Can't repeat the past? Well, of course you can. I'm going to fix everything just the way it was before."
"Romeo and Juliet want to extend the present into forever because they know their future is bleak; Gatsby believes that the key to the beautiful future is a perfect restoration of the beautiful past."
