― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

“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. So he waited, listening for a moment longer to the tuning fork that had been struck upon a star. Then he kissed her. At his lips’ touch she blossomed like a flower and the incarnation was complete.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

“It was the kind of voice that the ear follows up and down, as if each speech is an arrangement of notes that will never be played again.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

“First you take a drink, then the drink takes a drink, then the drink takes you.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald
