Quote: "You have to do what you think is the right thing, but just make sure it's the right thing in the long run, and not just for the moment." (199)
Significance: This quote is a a symbol for some things that happened in the past. This describes some of the choices that Gene made in the book that had these guidelines. When Gene "intentionally" made Finny fall of the tree, almost enlisting, and getting into fights that changed his outlook son things, are some of the things that seemed to be the right thing at the time for Gene, but in the end turned out to be things that he would regret for the rest of his life.
Question: Will Gene realize that without Finny, he will be a totally different person?
