About This Quote
This quote is very similar to the quotation, “I would rather not know what lies ahead because I like the dark. I like thinking there is something good in the places I can’t see. And that’s not ignorance. That’s just hope.â€� The first sentence is a paraphrase of a line from The Great Gatsby.
In the novel, Gatsby says, “It’s not the end of the world if you don’t get your heart’s desire. It’s not even the end of the world if you do. It’s not the end of the world even if you die tonight.
The end of the world is a mongrel thing, a hard and terrible thing, but not a tragedy. Not always, anyhow. That’s why it’s so frightening when things go wrong."
