Quote #10
'I had a neat stock of fixed opinions, but they dropped away one by one' (6.1.37)
These "fixed options" are Jude's plans for the future, the plans that "dropped away one by one" as Life (in the shape of Arabella Donn and Sue Bridehead) got in the way. Still, if he hadn't had the dream of pursuing his education at Christminster, he never would have met Sue, the love of his life. Maybe it balances out?
