About This Quote

This quote is a reference to the short story, The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald. In the story, Gatsby is explaining his relationship with his neighbor-lover, Daisy, to Nick Carraway: "It's very simple," Mr. Gatsby explained. "I don't want to lose anything I've gained." He looked at Daisy in a manner that seemed to say: "That's all there is to it."
