Self-pity
I never saw a wild thing
sorry for itself.
A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough
without ever having felt sorry for itself.
DH Lawrence

Quoted several times in the movie G.I. Jane.
Another poem:
- O the stale old dogs who pretend to guard
- the morals of the masses,
- how smelly they make the great back-yard
- wetting after everyone that passes.
- – excerpt, The Young and Their Moral Guardians
