The Great Gatsby is an iconic piece of work that has stood the test of time. The book, published back in 1925 by F. Scott Fitzgerald, is considered to be the author’s magnum opus!. The story, set in the ‘roaring twenties’ explores complex themes of the time such as idealism, decadance and exuberance. The story, although nearly a century old, still finds relevance in today’s time.
We’ve put together a list of some of the best quotes from both the novel and its film adaptation starring Leonardo DiCaprio.
