  1. Gatsby Quotes Chapter 8

  2. Page 155 • “Go to Atlantic City for a week, or up to Montreal.” • He wouldn’t consider it. He couldn’t possibly leave Daisy until he knew what she was going to do. He was clutching at some last hope and I couldn’t bear to shake him free.

  3. Page 159 • Of course she might have loved him, just for a minute, when they were first married – and loved me more even then, do you see?” • (Gatsby’s dream that Daisy loved him.)

  4. Page 162 • “They’re a rotten crowd,” I shouted, across the lawn. “You’re worth the whole damn bunch put together.” • I’ve always been glad I said that. It was the only compliment I ever game him, because I disapproved of him from beginning to end.

  5. Page 162 • The lawn and drive had been crowded with the faces of those who guessed at his corruption – and he had stood on those steps, concealing his incorruptible dream as he waved them good bye.

  6. Page 169 • I have an idea that Gatsby himself didn’t believe it would come and perhaps he no longer cared. If that was true he must have felt that he had lost the old warm world, paid a high price for living too long with a single dream.
