F. Scott Fitzgerald Quotes
Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgiastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that’s no matter---to-morrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms further... And one fine morning... So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
