“Like some dogs: kick them once and they never trust you again, no matter how nice you are to them.”

“The faithful dog is kicked, and no matter how the spider weaves, he is never loved.”

“It is the facts that some people will never fit in our life, no matter how much you want them.”

“You can never trust anyone once you've had to trap them in a cage.”

“Looking back, it is also the smallest moments that seem to radiate the most pain. The moments when you realize you loved these people, helplessly, that you were given no choice in this matter of loving them, and that they will always be part of you no matter how you try to carve them out of your flesh. That you are tied to them with bonds you could never sever, that they will live on inside you no matter how many effigies of them you hang and burn, no matter how often their reflections appear in the eyes of other men and women, men and women who then unwittingly play the roles of father and mother, with whom you act out the drama again and again.”

“Mustang: (snatches puppy) Dog, huh? (pause) I LOVE DOGS!Fuery: Really? You mean it?!Mustang: OF COURSE! Dogs embody loyalty! They follow their master's commands above all else! Be a jerk to them and they don't complain and they never once beg for a paycheck! Trust me, Fuery, they're the great servants of man! (sings) LOYAL CANINE, HOW WE SALUTE THEE!”
