Swimming the ocean a giant brain watches us.

Dogs never lie about love.

Animals are, like us, endangered species on an endangered planet, and we are the ones who are endangering them, it, and ourselves. They are innocent sufferers in a hell of our making.

Animals love and suffer, cry and laugh; their hearts rise up in anticipation and fall in despair...they feel.

Questers of the truth, that’s who dogs are; seekers after the invisible scent of another being’s authentic core.

We need cats to need us. It unnerves us that they do not. However, if they do not need us, they nonetheless seem to love us.

Dogs love us not only because we feed them, walk them, or groom them, or protect them, but because we are fun. How astonishing!

Hardly any animal can look as deeply disappointed as a dog to whom one says "no."

The curiosity of cats is, like their affection, of a purity and intensity rarely seen in humans. We would be jaded when faced with the fiftieth paper bag. Not so our cats.

Us" versus "them" is not in our genes. It is something we learn.

One rarely falls in love without being as much attracted to what is interestingly wrong with someone as what is objectively healthy.

Who ever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster.

The right of the majority is absolute.

I think of clothes a lot like costumes. I think of what I wear in real life as being my real life character's costume.

You're like my favorite song, Nova. The one that I never want to forget. That I want to play over and over again.

I answered the voice that I was a poor girl who knew nothing of riding and warfare.

To me our music is like Jamaican stuff - if they can't hear it, they're not supposed to hear it. It's not for them if they can't understand it.

There can be no tyrants where there are no slaves.

We have laws against polluting our rivers but not against polluting our minds.

Of all musical instruments the human voice is the most beautiful, for it is made by God.
