Few human beings give of themselves to another as a dog gives of itself.

Always, the eye sees more than the mind can comprehend, and we go through life self-blinded to much that lies before us. We want a simple world, but we live in a magnificently complex one, and rather than open ourselves to it, we perceive the world through filters that make it less daunting.

Nothing gives us courage more readily than the desire to avoid looking like a damn fool.

Every eye sees its own special vision; every ear hears a most different song. In each man's troubled heart, an incision would reveal a unique, shameful wrong.

Behind every closed door might wait a thief of minds and a collector of souls.

The recognition of pain and fear in others give rise in us to pity, and in our pity is our humanity, our redemption.

Rub-a-dub-dub. Cerebrum in a tub.
