Quotes from great gatsby about him and daisy's relationship?
Page 92 "There must have been moments even that afternoon when Daisy tumbled short of his dreams — no through her own fault but because of the colossal vitality of his illusion. It had gone beyond her, beyond everything. He had thrown himself into it with a creative passion…"


Page 107 "when he…wed his unutterable visions to her perishable breath, his mind would never romp again like the mind of God."


"He wanted to recover something, some idea of himself perhaps, that had gone into loving Daisy. His life had been confused and disordered since then, but if he could once return to a certain starting place and go over it all slowly, he could find out what that thing was."- Ch. 6


"It excited him, too, that many men had already loved Daisy--it increased her value in his eyes."- Ch. 8


Also, Gatsby was truly in love with Daisy right before he went to war. After 5 years had passed, Gatsby had this image in his own mind that Daisy was absolutely perfect and flawless. But when Gatsby met Daisy again at Nick's house, he was still was in love with her but she was not as perfect and flawless as he had made her out to be.
