Daisy Buchanan

All the bright, precious things fade so fast. And they don't come back.

I woke up out of the ether with an utterly abandoned feeling, and asked the nurse right away if it was a boy or a girl.
She told me it was a girl, and so I turned my head away and wept. ’All right,’ I said, ’I’m glad it’s a girl. And I hope she’ll be a fool—that’s the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool.

Nicky. It's just, well, you see, I think everything's terrible anyhow. I've been everywhere and seen everything and done everything. I've had a very bad time, Nicky. I'm pretty cynical about everything.

— If it wasn't for the mist, we could see the green light.
— What green light?
— The one that burns all night at the end of your dock.
Possibly...it had occurred to Gatsby that the colossal significance of that light had vanished forever.
