About This Quote

She took comfort in the familiarity of his smell, knowing that if she lost all her possessions and her home, at least she would have her family. In this quotation from The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Nick Carraway describes Daisy Buchanan, the wealthy heiress he has become infatuated with. The idea of a family is important to a lot of people.

It brings a sense of security and comfort to the ones who have one. When a person loses their family they feel as though they have lost something that will never be replaced. They may also feel as though they stand alone in this world without anyone to rely on or count on them.

There is something to be said about holding dear those close to you and never losing them no matter what happens in life.
