When I returned, I saw the dead dog in the woman's bedroom. I also saw four five-month-old puppies in one small crate unable to move, and sitting and standing in their own feces. It was unbearable conditions.

When I was five years old I saw an insect that had been eaten by ants and of which nothing remained except the shell. Through the holes in its anatomy one could see the sky. Every time I wish to attain purity I look at the sky through flesh.

I saw them when I was 5 or 6 years old in China in my hometown, Shanghai. That's the only game I watched them. I think I would like to watch them play.

We can buy a three-year-old five-bedroom brick house for $350,000 to $400,000 and cut our property taxes to $3,000 to $4,000 a year.

I wish I lived in your world, where it's sunshine and puppies all the time.

I'm convinced that petting a puppy is good luck.
