Jay gatsby famous quote

"Meyer Wolfsheim? No, he's a gambler." Gatsby hesitated, then added coolly: "He's the man who fixed the World's Series back in 1919." "Fixed the World's Series?" I repeated. [ ...] "Why isn't he in jail?""They can't get him, old sport. He's a smart man." (112-118)

This New America does not have room for pure-hearted dreamers such as Gatsby, but it certainly does have room for corrupt, smart criminals such as Meyer Wolfsheim.

"... what foul dust floated in the wake of his dreams that temporarily closed out my interest in the abortive sorrows and short-winded elations of men."
