"Daisy!Daisy!Daisy!" Shouted Mrs. Wilson. "I'll say it whenever I want to! Daisy! Dai-"
...And then Tom punches her. (That's not a quote, it's what happens)
blah blah blah
"preoccupied by his love for Daisy"
quotes
In "The Great Gatsby," the character Daisy Buchanan said, "You can't repeat the past." This quote reflects a theme in the novel about the consequences of living in denial and trying to hide the truth. Daisy's statement implies that one's past actions and lies will eventually catch up to them.
In "The Great Gatsby", Tom Buchanan describes Wilson as "a good man" but "made misty by not having money". This comment highlights Wilson's poverty and the impact it has on his life.
The quote "What kind of a row are you trying to cause in my house anyhow" can be found in Chapter 1 of "The Great Gatsby," when Tom Buchanan confronts Nick Carraway after an argument with Myrtle Wilson in the apartment Tom keeps in Manhattan. Tom accuses Nick of trying to stir up trouble in their social circle.
No, that quote is not from 'The Great Gatsby.' The famous quote "There are no second acts in American lives" is actually attributed to F. Scott Fitzgerald, the author of 'The Great Gatsby,' but it is not a line from the novel itself. It comes from a letter he wrote in 1934.
The purpose of George Wilson is to reveal the vast gap between the rich and poor within society. He is the polar opposite of Tom Buchanan in that one is extremely wealthy and the other is living in poverty. Wilson is also a manipulation to make the reader dislike Tom further as his wife chooses to have an affair for money and status and views Wilson as a failure because he was never able to give her this. The famous quote 'the world and his mistress' epitomizes the corruption in society, exposed by George Wilson, Myrtle Wilson and Tom Buchanan.
This quote is not from "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald. It seems to be a line from "Gone Girl" by Gillian Flynn.
George Wilson is the owner of a run-down garage in the Valley of Ashes in "The Great Gatsby." He is described as a mechanic who works on cars, but his business is failing and he is struggling financially.
The quote "They're careless people, Tom and Daisy" can be found on page 179 of The Great Gatsby. This quote is from the confrontation between Nick and Tom Buchanan towards the end of the novel.
One important quote in chapter 4 of The Great Gatsby is when Gatsby tells Nick that his real name is James Gatz and he comes from a wealthy family in the Midwest.

In "The Great Gatsby," the phrase "he was a son of God" is used symbolically to refer to the character Gatsby's extraordinary and admirable qualities. It suggests that Gatsby possesses a sense of purity, innocence, and greatness that sets him apart from others, even though he is not actually a divine figure.
This quote appears in Chapter 3 of "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald, specifically on page 45 of the novel. It highlights the superficial nature of Gatsby's parties, which lacked genuine connections and intimacy despite their grandeur. The quote underscores the emptiness and materialism that characterized the Jazz Age in which the novel is set.
In "The Great Gatsby," the line is "The rich get richer and the poor get children." This quote is attributed to Tom Buchanan, reflecting his belief in social and economic hierarchies that benefit the wealthy and exploit the disadvantaged.
