The only difference between me and most people is that I'm perfectly aware that all my important decisions are made for me by my subconscious.

Rex Stout

Dogs, as far as we know, do not agonise about the canine condition, worry about the plight of dogs in other parts of the world, or try to see their lives from a different perspective.

It's not that you should never love something so much that it can control you. It's that you need to love something that much so you can never be controlled. It's not a weakness. It's your best strength.
