Image result for great gatsby book original cover 
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past." 


(Published 1925)



I love the classics and plan to alternately share some "CLOSING lines" over the coming months. Comment if you wish, or read for inspiration. Writing styles were different then, or were they really?

"Whenever you feel like criticizing any one," he told me, "just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had." (Published 1925)
