Dogs have more love than integrity. They've been true to us, yes, but they haven't been true to themselves. Love me, love my dog. It's just the most amazing thing to love a dog, isn't it? It makes our relationships with people seem as boring as a bowl of oatmeal. The better I get to know men, the more I find myself loving dogs. Love for a dog during childhood is one of the deepest and purest emotions we are ever likely to have, and it remains with us for the rest of our lives. For some people, their first experience with love is with a dog. The fact that the dog returns the love so fiercely, so openly, so unambivalently, is for many children a unique and lasting experience. Dogs love their friends and bite their enemies, quite unlike people, who are incapable of pure love and always have to mix love and hate in their . . . relations. I really love pets. They're like children. They know if you really love them or not. You can't fool them. There is no reciprocity. Men love women, women love children, children love hamsters. Love conquers all things except poverty and a toothache. Be unselfish in your love. Remember, you are not the cat. When a man is small, he loves and hates food with a ferocity which soon dims. At six years old his very bowels will heave when such a dish as creamed carrots or cold tapioca appear before him. Anything will give up its secrets if you love it enough. I love Mickey Mouse more than any woman I've ever known. I'm not a vegetarian because I love animals. I'm a vegetarian because I hate plants. Man has bought brains, but all the millions in the world have failed to buy love. Man has subdued bodies, but all the power on earth has been unable to subdue love. Man has conquered whole nations, but all his armies could not conquer love. Man has chained and fettered the spirit, but he has been utterly helpless before love. Thus love has the magic power to make of a beggar a king. If it's true that men are such beasts, this must account for the fact that most women are animal lovers. If we love our country, we should also love our countrymen. |
