The dog often appeared as this sort of iconic image.

Dogs are the best and worst of ourselves. They seem at once so civilized and so wild.

When we begin to take our failures non-seriously, it means we are ceasing to be afraid of them. It is immense importance to learn to laugh at ourselves.

The more you are motivated by love, the more fearless and free your actions will be.

To work / to work! It is such infinite delight to know that we still have the best things to do.

Would you not like to try all sorts of lives / one is so very small / but that is the satisfaction of writing / one can impersonate so many people.
