The Great Gatsby

One of the greatest pieces of literature of all time. A timeless classic that tells the story of a man, James Gatz, who has an undying dream, a desire for a love that he will never have. Written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, this book is said to be a parallel of his life.

"Gatsby believed in the green light. The orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but it's no matter. For tomorrow we will run faster, reach our arms out farther. Then on one fine day, so we beat on, boats against the current, we are borne back into the past"- A closing line in the masterpiece novel, The Great Gatsby.

Great Wakering

The frantic search for something to read on the toilet when you're about to go.

I desperately had to go to the bathroom, but the Great Wakering set in and I had to hold it while I looked for a book.

great boast little toast

it's a Persian proverb and it means that:

You don't need to boast when you got no penny to bless yourself with.
Great boast (but) empty pockets (to buy sth).

How can you afford to buy such an expensive jewellery with an empty pocket?
Great boast little toast!
