Fat people Quote by Jonathan Shaw
““There were so many people, places and things she disliked, the litany of her pet peeves was hard to keep up with. Narcisa hated anyone in a uniform, particularly waiters, police and the military; fat people, Argentines; Forró and Caipira music were a constant source of annoyance to her, as well as all religious art, newspapers and newscasts. She also despised poor people. But, as an equal-opportunity hater, she disliked rich people just as much. Basically, Narcisa loathed the whole human race.””
