THE GEM 20 JULY 2017 : In order to really enjoy a dog, one doesn’t merely try to train him to be semi-human. The point of it is to open oneself to the possibility of becoming partly a dog. | THE OLD PROVERBIAL RECOVERY

This much, at least, I’ve figured out. I know this much is true.”― Wally Lamb, I Know This Much Is True
