How we cite our quotes: (Book.Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
When [Darcy] came into a room clad in his full purple regalia from thatch to toe, he resembled a Turner sunset, and attracted both admiration and attention. (1.1.193)
Amory can tell that Monsignor Darcy is an impressive dude from the moment he meets him. The guy has this aura of awesomeness that anyone can see, which suggests that maybe you really can tell a lot about someone from their looks.
Quote #2
"What a remarkable-looking boy!" (1.1.248)
In the opening chapter of This Side of Paradise, we learn all about Amory Blaine and his dashing good looks. Fitzgerald never loses an opportunity to remind us that Amory is very handsome, which is kind of funny really, since Amory is probably a stand-in for Fitzy himself. Way to pat yourself on the back, F. Scott.
Quote #3
"I wanted to come out here with you because I thought you were the best-looking girl in sight. You really don't care whether you ever see me again, do you?" (1.2.189)
Amory knows the score, and he's willing to tell a girl point-blank that he's talking to her because of her good looks. He also knows that the girl doesn't care if she sees him again. But it doesn't matter because they're both beautiful and life is short.
