QUOTES
 “He talked a lot about the past, and I gathered that he wanted to
recover something, some idea of himself perhaps, that had gone into
loving Daisy”
 “His life had been confused and disordered since then, but if he could
once return to a certain starting place and go over it all slowly, he could
find out what the thing was…”
 “The truth was that Jay Gatsby, of West Egg, Long Island, sprang
from his Platonic conception of himself ”
