Dogs Are Dim Creatures, Do

All I Wanted Was To Be Left Alone. They Abhor A Vacuum, Other People. You Find A Quiet Corner Where You Can Hunker Down In Peace, And The Next Minute There They Are, Crowding Around You In Their Party Hats, Tooting Their Paper Whistles In Your Face And Insisting You Get Up And Join In The Knees-up.

A Man Is Not Much If He Can't Depend On Himself, And Nothing If Others Can't Depend On Him.

Perhaps All Of Life Is No More Than A Long Preparation For The Leaving Of It.

Happiness Was Different In Childhood. It Was So Much Then A Matter Simply Of Accumulation, Of Taking Things - New Experiences, New Emotions - And Applying Them Like So Many Polished Tiles To What Would Someday Be The Marvellously Finished Pavilion Of The Self.

If I Was Asked To Say What Was The Greatest Invention Of Human Beings, I Would Say The Sentence.
