GATSBY

• something gorgeous about him, some heightened sensitivity to the promises of life
• extraordinary gift for hope
• romantic readiness
• it was testament to the romantic speculation he inspired
• [his smile has] the quality of eternal reassurance
• elaborate formality of speech just missed being absurd
• a sudden emptiness seemed to flow now from the windows and the great doors endowing with complete isolation the figure of the host
• •“He was never quite still”
• •“it was like skimming through a dozen magazines"
• •“Gatsby’s very careful about women. He would never so much as look at a friends wife”
• •“it had not been merely to the stars to which he had aspired on that June night”
