“She was incurably dishonest.”

“Jordan Baker instinctively avoided clever, shrewd men, and now I saw that this was because she felt safer on a plane where any divergence from a code would be thought impossible. She was incurably dishonest. She wasn't able to endure being at a disadvantage and, given this unwillingness, I suppose she had begun dealing in subterfuges when she was very young in order to keep that cool, insolent smile turned to the world and yet satisfy the demands of her hard, jaunty body.”

“A dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest.”

“Me, I’m dishonest, and you can always trust a dishonest man to be dishonest. Honestly, it’s the honest ones you have to watch out for.”

“She supposed that all those years of loving a person who was dishonest had taught her a few things.”

“She was one of those people who are irrevocably, incurably honest and therefore both inflexible and vulnerable at the same time.”
