“So doth the woodbine the sweet honeysuckle Gently entwist. The female ivy so Enrings the barky fingers of the elm. Oh, how I love thee! How I dote on thee!” (VI.i. lines 25-28).
Personally, this is one of my favorite quote in the book, because this quote shows what “true love” is supposed to be. The humorous fact in this quote is that “true love” is manifested by the fairy queen and a human who has been transformed into an ass. This shows that in true love anything can happen. The irony of this quote is that the love Titania has for Bottom is not real, and that it is being controlled by a magic potion. So Shakespeare shows again how magic is bad and how it can affect both race(humans and fairies).

Throughout the book, you will see examples of Grace acting without thinking, and usually getting in trouble after.

“Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone....just remember that all the people in the world haven’t the advantages that you’ve had.” This quote is from Nick who quoted this from his father. "Gatsby turned out alright..." This shows Nick’s actions and thoughts still remain the same about judgement at the end of story. I think F. Scott Fitzgerald uses this quote also to foreshadow the bad choices that take place and to reserve our judgment and try to understand the characters with a open mind.
