9 Quotes From "The Great Gatsby" That Prove We're All Searching For Love

The Great Gatsby, written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, reminds us of a different era. It glamorizes but also reveals the secrets of a different time, a time of change. While many of us were assigned this as a reading at some particular grade level, others soared through it and fell in love. The novel is full of lessons to live by and also keep in the back of our mind.

1. "We were all just humans, drunk on the idea that love, only love could heal our brokenness."

2. "There are all kinds of love in this world, but never the same love twice."

3. "He looked at her the way all women want to be looked at by a man."

4. "I wish I'd done everything on earth with you."

5. "I love her, and that's the beginning and end of everything."

6. "He looked at you like the moon and the stars shone out of your eyes."

7. “There I was, way off my ambitions, getting deeper in love every minute, and all of a sudden I didn’t care.”

8. "When I first met her, I knew in a moment I would have to spend the next few days re-arranging my mind so there'd be room for her to stay." 

9. "I knew it was a great mistake for a man like me to fall in love. And I just let myself go."

So many of us let ourselves go and are drunk on the idea of love – and that's the Gatsby way!
