How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #4
She had a dizzy watchfulness from the buzzing of some omen or other. (4.20)
Augie's mother seems to be superstitious, but not very vocal about the specifics. Either that, or Augie just doesn't consider the specificities worth noting.
Quote #5
"It's practically determined. And if you're going to let it be determined for you too, you're sucker. Just what's predicted." (7.54)
For Einhorn, fate is for suckers and saps. He rose above his paralysis and determined his own fate. He wants Augie to do the same. Minus the whole paralysis part.
Quote #6
I never had accepted determination and wouldn't become what other people wanted to make of me. (7.57)
This is somewhat ironic. Augie has a lifelong habit of not being his own person, instead getting caught up in the designs and ambitions of others. He constantly allows other people to determine the course of his life, like a walking and talking choose-your-own-adventure book.
