“I believe in integrity. Dogs have it. Humans are sometimes lacking it.”

“Humans serve cats as dogs serve humans. And sometimes, I fear, as ineptly.”

“I mistrust all systematizers and avoid them. the will to a system is a lack of integrity.”

“Greed (as Ling): You humans always get all "holier-than-thou" when it comes to this stuff... I really don't get you.Edward: It's called having integrity. You should try it sometime”

“I have sometimes thought of the final cause of dogs having such short lives and I am quite satisfied it is in compassion to the human race; for if we suffer so much in losing a dog after an acquaintance of ten or twelve years, what would it be if they were to live double that time?”

“Dogs are my favorite role models. I want to work like a dog, doing what I was born to do with joy and purpose. I want to play like a dog, with total, jolly abandon. I want to love like a dog, with unabashed devotion and complete lack of concern about what people do for a living, how much money they have, or how much they weigh. The fact that we still live with dogs, even when we don't have to herd or hunt our dinner, gives me hope for humans and canines alike.”
