The Great Gatsby

One of my favorite books (The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald) set in the flamboyant and excessive Roaring Twenties, was made into a movie in 2013 with two of my favorite actors (Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan) and a great song by Lana Del Rey.

Quotes from The Great Gatsby:

“Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall.”

“I was within and without, simultaneously enchanted and repelled by the inexhaustible variety of life.” 

"It was all very careless and confused. They were careless people, Tom and Daisy—they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”  

“So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.” 

“They’re a rotten crowd’, I shouted across the lawn. ‘You’re worth the whole damn bunch put together.”
