Does anyone know any good quotes about Jordan Baker and Myrtle Wilson in the Great Gatsby.
I only have about 7:
"Daisy and Jordan lay upon an enormous couch, like silver idols weighing down their own white dresses against the singing breeze of the fans."
“I married him because I thought he was a gentleman...I thought he knew something about breeding, but he wasn't fit to lick my shoe.
Chapter 2, Myrtle on Wilson.”
“He borrowed somebody's best suit to get married in, and never told me about it, and the man came after it one day when he was out...I gave it to him and then I lay down and cried...all afternoon.”
Chapter 2, Myrtle.
I love New York on summer afternoons when everyone's away. There's something very sensuous about it - overripe, as if all sorts of funny fruits were going to fall into your hands.
Chapter 7, Jordan.
“The two girls and Jordan leaned together confidentially “
Jordan
“I like large parties. They are so intimate. At small parties there isn’t any privacy. “
Jordan chapter 3
