• buoyed up as though upon an anchored balloon
• her voice compelled me forward breathlessly as I listened
• the best thing a girl can be in this world- a beautiful fool
• our white girlhood was passed there
• •“She was dressed in white and had a little white roadster”
• “young officers from Camp Taylor demanded the priviledge of monopolizing her that night”
• •“By next autumn she was gay again, gay as ever”
• •“If he left the room for a minute she’d look around uneasily”
• -The exhilarating ripple of her voice was a wild tonic in the rain
• -“Theyre such beautiful shirts” she sobbed
• -Moments when Daisy tumbled short of his dreams- not through her own fault but because of the colossal vitality of his own illusion. It had gone beyond her, beyond everything
• -In the very casualness of Gatsby’s party there were romantic possibilities totally absent from her world
• -At his lips touch she blossomed for him like a flower and the incarnation was complete
• -Her voice is full of money

  -High in a white palace the king’s daughter the golden girl
• Daisy began to move again with the season

  She wanted her life shaped now, immediately
