“His heart beat faster and faster as Daisy’s white face came up to his own. He knew that when he kissed this girl, and forever wed his unutterable visions to her perishable breath, his mind would never romp again like the mind of God.

― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

“The truth is rarely pure and never simple.”

― Joan Crawford
