"go on" said lennie. george raised the gun and his hand shook, and he dropped his hand to the ground again. "go on, said lennie hows it gonna be. we gonna get a little place." (pg105)

"Nobody never gets to heaven. ever'body gets no land. It's just in their head. They're all the time talkin' about it, but it's just in their head"(74)

How much Lennie depends on Gorge

"Lennie, who had been watching, imitated George exactly. He pushed himself back, drew up his knees, embraced them, looked over to George to see whether he had it just right. He pulled his hat down a little more over his eyes, the way George's hat was." (10)

They come to a ranch an' work up a stake and then they go inta town and blow their stake, and the first thing you know they're pound in' their tail on some other ranch. They ain't got nothing to look ahead to."

This quote relates to loneliest of George and Lennie

"Whatever we ain't got, that's what you want. God a'mighty, if I was alone I could live so easy. I could go get a job an' work, an' no trouble. No mess at all, and when the end of the month come I could take my fifty bucks and go into town and get whatever I want. Why, I could stay in a cathouse all night. I could eat any place I want, hotel or any place, and order any damn thing I could think of. An' I could do all that every damn month. Get a gallon of whisky, or set in a pool room and play cards or shoot pool." Lennie knelt and looked over the fire at the angry George. And Lennie's face was drawn in with terror. "An' whatta I got," George went on furiously. "I got you! You can't keep a job and you lose me ever' job I get. Jus' keep me shovin' all over the country all the time." (1.89)

"Don't you ever take a look at that bitch. I don't care what she says or what she does..." (39)

Knowing what happens later in the book, Lennie falls to her temptation and accidentally kills her, her being Curley's wife.Ultimately the biggest reason why George kills Lennie.

George and Lennie are not the only ones who feel loneliness. For example Candy and Curley's wife feel terribly alone. I believe that John Steinbeck meant for this to be a large and important theme.

"...Why can't I talk to you? I never get to talk to nobody. I get awful lonely." (86)

Even the town that Lennie and George are on, Soledad, means solitary, or, alone. This is in no way an accident by Steinbeck
