the great gatsby favorite quote

At the beginning of the great gatsby Nick says he tries his best to not judge people. that's why i choose the quote " dishonesty in a women is a thing you never blame deeply - i was casually sorry, and then i forgot". I choose this quote because people see lying as a horrible thing. I believe that you shouldn't lie in any circumstance. nick so far has been my favorite character because all the other characters are fake. Hes been a good guy through out the whole story and doesnt judge people over small things like there appearance. I know for a fact that i judge people over how they look or how the speak but i shouldnt. People have problems that are either out of their control or are just going threw thing that cause them to be that way. God is the only person that can judge someone else.

aphorism

the essay "Self Reliance" by ralph emerson has many aphorism. there were many different ones that stood out to me but the one that stood out the most was "no law can be sacred to me but that of my own nature. i chose this quote cause its a really good life lesson. To me it means that you shouldnt put other peoples rules and opinons over your own.
