Mark Haddon Quotes

People Assumed Melissa Was Vegetarian Out Of Cussedness, Or Maybe As An Outlet For The Empathy She Didn't Expend On Human Beings, But It Was Sloppy Thinking She Hated. She Cared Little For The Suffering Of Cattle Or Sheep But Why Eat Them And Not Dogs? It Wasn't So Much A Belief As The Obvious Thing To Do. She Hated Injustice Without Feeling Much Sympathy For Those Who Had Been Treated Unjustly. She Thought That All Drugs Should Be Legal And That Giving Money To Charity Was Pointless. And She Liked The Fact That These Opinions Made Her Distinctive And Intelligent. In Many Respects She Was Like Her Father. Not The Dirt Under His Nails, Not The Prickly Pride In His Under-education But The Way His Sense Of Self Depended So Much On Other People Being In The Wrong.
