'Better is one's own duty imperfectly carried out than

following perfectly the law of another.

Better is death in the fulfillment of one's own law,

for to follow another's law is perilous.'

-The Bhagavad-Gita

 

This quote define perfectly Houlden. He is the whole opposite of it because he is like follow what poeple say like when he does sparklater's homework or when he try to mak out with women for lost his virginity for be cool and make his reputation and i think it's a little because he has already a reputation cause he smoke and be kick out from school and other stoff like that but also because he get beet up from stradlater and this guy is the kind of fuy who has every girls and i think houlden miss that and want that so he follow what poeple tell him like the guy at the hotel who propose him for the prostitude but he gots scared so gives up.

The second part of the quote would be what Houlden should follow, and i think i tries to because when he talks about Jane and when he meet the nuns he's complitly different and he talks from he's own words and own thots.
