…his moodiness, his tendency to pose, his laziness, and his love of playing the fool.

…where now he realised only his own inconsequence, effort would make him aware of his own impotency and insufficiency.

…capable of very strong, if very transient emotions.

it’s just that i feel so sad these wonderful nights. i sort of feel they’re never coming again, and i’m not really getting all i could out of them.

it was always the becoming he dreamed of, never the being.

he was a slave to his own moods and he felt that though he was capable of recklessness and audacity, he possessed neither courage, perseverance nor self-respect.

Strange to say my notion of Gatsby as vacant was OK. This is a complicated idea, but I'm sure you'll understand. I know Gatsby better than I know my own child. My first instinct after your letter was to let him go and have Tom Buchanan dominate the book. But Gatsby sticks in my heart. I had him for a while, then lost him, and now I know I have him again.

Fitzgerald to  Maxwell Perkins ( dec., 1924)

Fue una de esas escasas sonrisas que poseen un matiz de eterno sosiego con las que tropiezas cuatro o cinco veces en la vida...

[in-tacto]

The dream was gone. Something had been taken from him(...). For the first time in years, tears were streaming down his face. But they were for himself now. He did not care about mouth and eyes and moving hands. He wanted to care, and he could not care. For he had gone away and he could never go back anymore. The gates were closed, the sun had gone down, and there was no beauty but the grey beauty of steel that withstands all time. Even the grief he could have borne was left behind in the country of illusions (...). "Long ago", he said, "long ago, there was something in me, but now that thing is gone. Now that thing is gone, that thing is gone. I cannot cry. I cannot care. That thing will come back no more".

Winter Dreams, F. S. Fitzgerald
