-"In consequence, I'm inclined to reserve all judgments a habit that has opened up many curios natures to me and also made the victim of not a few veteran bores."
-Nick is a good listener and allows himself the opportunity not to criticize and understand the full person. Something his father has taught him.
-Nick Carraway, is the protagonist and narrator. His role in the novel still is developing because of his recent change in atmosphere and environment.
-"And as I walked on I was lonely no longer. I was a guide, a pathfinder, an original settler."
I identify with this quote because I like to think of myself as "a pathfinder" and "an original settler." Although I am not a lonely person.
