"No amount of fire or freshness can challenge what a man will store up in his ghostly heart." This quote is interesting because it says a lot about Gatsby's feelings for Daisy. It means that after all the time they spent apart he still loves her. I look at this quote in two ways. First, I think Fitzgerald was trying to say that after being away from someone for so long it might make you think that person is someone else. You expect more from them because you have an image of them in your head of how they should be, how you want them to be. After all that time believing they are someone they aren't you would rather stay with them than to believe you wasted your time. Second, that Fitzgerald was just trying to say once a man falls so deeply in love with a woman, there is no possible way to pull him out of the world he wants with her.
