"Unlike Gatsby and Tom Buchanan, I had no girl whose disembodied face floated along the dark cornices and blinding signs, and so I drew up the girl beside me, tightening my arms. Her was, scornful mouth smiled, and so I drew her up closer, this time to my face" (Fitzgerald 80)

"I'd be damned if I'd go in; I'd had enough of all of them for one day, and suddenly that included Jordan too. She must have seen something of this in my expression, for she turned abruptly away and ran up the porch steps into the house" (Fitzgerald 142)

""You said a bad driver was only safe until she met another bad driver? Well, I met another bad driver, didn't I? I mean it was careless of me to make such a wrong guess. I thought you were rather an honest, straightforward person. I thought it was your secret pride.'" (Fitzgerald 177)

Gatsby's motive was love - he wanted to pick up where they left off five years ago... "He talked a lot about the past, and I gathered that he wanted to recover something, some idea of himself perhaps, that had gone into loving Daisy. His life had been confused and disordered since then, but if he could once return to a certain starting place and go over it all again slowly, he could find out what that thing was..."(Fitzgerald 110).

Daisy's motive is money and love, but when Gatsby went away she chose Tom over Gatsby because Tom had money and at that time Gatsby didn't... "They're such beautiful shirts, it makes me sad because I've never seen such---such beautiful shirts before"(Fitzgerald 92). This is where Daisy realizes she should have waited for Gatsby to return, and she should have married Gatsby instead of Tom.
