“There must have been moments even that afternoon when Daisy tumbled short of his dreams -- not through her own fault, but because of the colossal vitality of his illusion. It had gone beyond her, beyond everything. He had thrown himself into it with a creative passion, adding to it all the time, decking it out with every bright feather that drifted his way. No amount of fire or freshness can challenge what a man will store up in his ghostly heart.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

“Reserving judgements is a matter of infinite hope.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

“We’d met at a carefree time, a moment full of promise, in its place now were the harsh lessons of the real world.”
― Nicholas Sparks, Dear John

“Love should bring joy, it should grant a person peace, but here and not, it was bringing only pain.”
― Nicholas Sparks, Dear John
