““Trideset godina - jamstvo za desetljeće samoće, sve rjeđu listu neoženjenih znanaca, sve rjeđe zanose, sve rjeđu kosu. No, uza me je bila Jordan koja je, za razliku od Daisy, bila prepametna da bi davno zaboravljene snove prenosila iz jednog razdoblja u drugo. Kad smo prešli preko tamnoga mosta, njezino se blijedo lice lijeno naslonilo na moje rame, a strašan se otkucaj tridesete godine izgubio pod ohrabrujućim stiskom njezine ruke.””

Frances Scott Fitzgerald
