"I hope I never will," she answered. "I hate careless people. That's why I like you."

my favourite character in the great gatsby has always been jordan. she was the real femme fatale. not daisy. daisy was always far too wimpy for me. something cold about jordan always made me adore her. aloof maybe. gawd she is flawed. but i always thought she was pretty damn romantic... in her own way.
