“I confronted the fact that I was not only talking to a dog, but answering for one.”
“The reason I talk to myself is because I’m the only one whose answers I accept.”
“Dogs are exceptionally intelligent creatures. My dog, for example, taught me that not only am I a cat person, but that it isn’t really a dog at all, but that it is in fact a cat.”
“I wondered if having conversations with your dog was less crazy than babbling to yourself when no one else was around. I guess it depended on whether or not the dog answered.”
“There was only one possible answer, as plain as it was disturbing.That she was not, in fact, human.”
“I invent stories, confront one with another, and by this means I ask questions. The stupidity of people comes from having an answer to everything. The wisdom of the novel comes from having a question for everything.”
