“But a dog teaches a boy fidelity, perseverance, and to turn around three times before lying downvery important traits in times like these. In fact, just as soon as a dog comes along who, in addition to these qualities, also knows when to buy and sell stocks, he can be moved right up to the boys bedroom and the boy can sleep in the dog house.”
—Robert Benchley (18891945)
“it pleaseth me when I see through the meadows
The tents and pavilions set up, and great joy have I
When I see oer the campana knights armed and horses arrayed.
And it pleaseth me when the scouts set in flight the folk with
their goods;
And it pleaseth me when I see coming together after them an host of
armed men.”
—Bertrans De Born (fl. 12th century)
“I think the greatest taboos in America are faith and failure.”
—Michael Malone (b. 1942)

Its color passion but its neck a question.”

—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
