<u>Explanation:</u>

We can infer the meaning of this quote by considering the context of the statement. For example, a few lines before this quote, we are told by Alexis de Tocqueville,

<em>"He who has set his heart exclusively on the pursuit of worldly welfare is always in a hurry, for </em><em>he has but a limited time at his disposal to reach, to grasp, and to enjoy it."</em>

Hence, what the quote means is that man (i.e Gatsby), has an insatiable desire to enjoy what life can offer with the fear of dying in mind; despite the good things he already has.
