Great Gatsby Ch. 8-9

(1) "As a matter of fact, he had no such facilities — he had no comfortable family standing behind him, and he was liable at the whim of an impersonal government to be blown anywhere about the world."

(2) "All night the saxophones wailed the hopeless comment of the Beale Street Blues. while a hundred pairs of golden and silver slippers shuffled the shining dust."

(3) "His pride in his son and in his son’s possessions was continually increasing and now he had something to show me."

(4) "Gatsby’s house was still empty when I left — the grass on his lawn had grown as long as mine."

(5) "So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
