Francis Scott Fitzgerald Citations

“Gatsby avait foi en cette lumière verte, en l'avenir orgastique qui, d'année en année recule devant nous. Il nous a echappé cette fois? Qu'importe. Demain, nous courrons plus vite, nous tendrons les bras plus loin, et un beau matin… C'est ainsi que nous avançons, barque à contre-courant, sans cesse, ramenés vers le passé.”

Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's not matter – tomorrow we will run faster, strech out our arms farther... And one fine morning – So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.

C'est ainsi que nous avançons, barques luttant contre un courant qui nous rejette sans cesse vers le passé.
