Your favorite "Great Gatsby" Lines

I plan to see the new Leo DiCaprio version…meanwhile, I always considered the Z"Great Gatsby" as one of the best novels of the 20th century.
What are your favorite lines?
The one I like best is Meyer Wolfsheim “don’t pay him a penny till he shuts his mouth, Katspaugh!”
What are yours?

“You said a bad driver was only safe until she met another bad driver? Well, I met another bad driver, didn’t I?”

“You can’t repeat the past.”

“Can’t repeat the past?” he cried incredulously. “Why of course you can!”

He looked around him wildly, as if the past were lurking here in the shadow of his house, just out of reach of his hand.

Oh, darn you! That was the first one that came to me. Also,

“Ah," she cried, “you look so cool.”

Their eyes met, and they stared together at each other, alone in space. With an effort she glanced down at the table.

“You always look so cool,” she repeated.

She had told him that she loved him, and Tom Buchanan saw.

He paid a high price for living too long with a single dream.

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

My favorite - because when it comes the book is over! :stuck_out_tongue:

Sorry, not a fan, and not looking forward to my wife dragging me to the new film over the weekend.
