Quote #4
You can know a man by his devils and the way he gives hurts. (6.46)
Augie meets people more malicious than Einhorn. Why does he make this observation in reference to him instead of others? He's not even the bad guy!
Quote #5
"You've got opposition in you. You don't slide through everything. You just make it look so." (7.51)
A couple people notice the opposition in Augie—he's a natural born rebel. What traits of his do you think most exemplify this opposition?
Quote #6
When I face back I can recognize myself as of this time in intimate undress, with my own and family traits of hands and feet, greenness and grayness of the eyes and up-springing hair; but at myself fully clothed and at my new social passes I have to look twice. (8.2)
Augie isn't sure what caused him to be the person he's become. He only knows that in his college years he picked up new behaviors and habits and made them his own. Arguably he does this throughout his whole life. He can't find himself because he doesn't recognize himself in his clothes and social passes.
