    Is This A Line From "The Great Gatsby" Or An Angsty Tumblr User?

    Jay Gatsby seriously needs to check his privilege.

    2. "Civilization's going to pieces. I've gotten to be a terrible pessimist about things..."

      Correct! 
      Wrong! 

      That's from The Great Gatsby.

    3. "I've not done much self worship lately. It may be time to change that. Maybe this will pull me out of this rut."

      Correct! 
      Wrong! 

      That's from a user on Tumblr.

    4. "I am only ever jealous of people who are confident enough to display their art to others."

    7. "Reserving judgements is a matter of infinite hope."

      Correct! 
      Wrong! 

      That's from The Great Gatsby.

    8. "Do not forget where you come from. Do not forget the days wishing everything away, the maps of places that don't exist, the characters that lived in your head."

      Correct! 
      Wrong! 

      That's from a user on Tumblr.

    9. "Can't repeat the past?... Why of course you can!"

      Correct!
