It was one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it, that you may come across four or five times in life. It faced--or seemed to face--the whole external world for an instant, and then concentrated on you with an irresistible prejudice in your favor. It understood you just as far as you wanted to be understood, believed in you as you would like to believe in yourself."<br />I'm sure you already know this because you probably have the book memorized, but it's from The Great Gatsby. (Which should be written in italics but I can't seem to change the font on here.) Although it wasn't my favorite book, I will admit it does have some pretty good parts. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7746275271956999377.post-73151517032379174282012-06-10T12:27:18.292-04:002012-06-10T12:27:18.292-04:00Great.
