Quotes from "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald

"All I kept thinking about, over and over, was ‘You can’t live forever; you can’t live forever.’" (page 36, chapter 2)

This quote was said by Mrs. Wilson when she describes the first time she meet Tom. Their first interaction with one another was when they were on the train. It was said that they began to make very flirty eye connection with one another. He then approaches her and they share a taxi cab and go home together. All awhile this is going on Mrs. Wilson is thinking" You cant live forever; you cant live forever." I really like this quote because I totally agree with it. You cannot live for the future because who knows if u make it that far. You have to live everyday as it is your last. Life if full of risks and bad decisions but those things make your life complete. Some day you will be old, hopefully, and you need those types of memories to look back on and laugh and say 'What was I thinking.' You only get one life so have fun with it you never know when its going to end.

    you brought up a very good point. that people need to live their lives to the fullest whilst maintaining a life that is not so full such as the life of a student or a worker. great job =]

    very great choice of quote. It really struck me because it brings up a great point. You dont live forever and you should deffinatly appreciate the things in front of you and not take them for granted. That is the way i can relate it to MY life becuase some people take things for granted. Super job! you do have to take risks ;) live on the wild side! party hard! but you still have to be careful! terrific work!
