F. Scott Fitzgerald

"Whenever you feel like criticizing any one...just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had."

F. Scott Fitzgerald

Azar Nafisi

"You don't read Gatsby, I said, to learn whether adultery is good or bad but to learn about how complicated issues such as adultery and fidelity and marriage are. A great novel heightens your senses and sensitivity to the complexities of life and of individuals, and prevents you from the self-righteousness that sees morality in fixed formulas about good and evil..."

Azar Nafisi

Love

"This emotion I'm feeling now, this is love, right?
"I don't know. Is it a longing? Is it a giddy stupid happiness just because you're with me?
"Yes," she said. "I want to know you moved and breathed in the same world with me."

F. Scott Fitzgerald and Orson Scott Card
