Most people would have found it grotesque, but when you're in love nothing is so abstract or horrible that it can't be thought of as cute. David Sedaris
I like the sound of people's voices, and I think what a man says can very well tell what he's thinking, whether he's lying or not. Ernest Gaines
You're either my ship's cook-and then you were treated handsome-or Cap'n Silver, a common mutineer and pirate, and then you can go hang! Robert Louis Stevenson
Konrad Lorenz quote: "The bond with a true DOG is as lasting as the ties of this..."
