Daily Dialogue — July 8, 2008

“There was music from my neighbor’s house through those summer nights. In his enchanted gardens, men and girls came and went like moths, among the whispering and the champagne and the stars. I believe that few people were actually invited to these parties. They just went. They got into automobiles that bore them out to Long Island, and somehow they ended up at Gatsby’s door. Come for the party with a simplicity of heart that was it’s own ticket of admission.”

– Nick Carroway (Sam Waterston), The Great Gatsby (1974), screenplay by Francis Ford Coppola, based on the novel “The Great Gatsby” by F. Scott Fitzgerald
