“Wherever you look there’s meanness and corruption. This room, this bottle of grape wine, these fruits in the basket, are all products of profit and loss. A fellow can’t live without giving his passive acceptance to meanness. Somebody wears his tail to a frazzle for every mouthful we eat and every stitch we wear—and nobody seems to know. Everybody is blind, dumb, and blunt-headed—stupid and mean.” KnowsGivingLooksMeanSeemsLossRoomsStupidAcceptanceProductsFellowsBlindWineFruitProfitCorruptionDumbBottlesPassiveTailsGrapesBasketsBluntMeannessStitchesProfit And Loss Book:The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter Source: The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter
“She's not here," I tell him. Buttercup hisses again. "She's not here. You can hiss all you like. You won't find Prim." At her name, he perks up. Raises his flattened ears. Begins to meow hopefully. "Get out!" He dodges the pillow I throw at him. "Go away! There's nothing left for you here!" I start to shake, furious with him. "She's not coming back! She's never ever coming back here again!" I grab another pillow and get to my feet to improve my aim. Out of nowhere, the tears begin to pour down my cheeks. "She's dead, you stupid cat. She's dead.” NamesLeftLossFeetStupidTearsLike YouCatEarsAimRaisesHopefullyShakesGoing AwayCheeksComing BackPillowFuriousPerksMockingjayDodgeButtercupMockingjay Book Book:Mockingjay (The Hunger Games, Book 3) Source: Mockingjay (The Hunger Games, Book 3)
