Quote #7
From here a new course was set—by us, for us: I'm not going to try to unravel all the causes. (8.1)
Maybe Augie should attempt some unraveling here. He might have a better sense of himself if he tried to understand how his course got underway and where it's headed rather than flying full speed ahead with no looking back.
Quote #8
The thing I learned from her was of the utmost importance; namely, that everyone sees to it his fate is shared. Or tries to see to it. (11.37)
This could have a positive connotation or a negative one. If someone's fate is awesome and they would like others to share it, share on. But if someone's fate isn't that great, you probably don't want to share in the misery.
