You are a human being with a free will. Which puts you above the animal level. But if you live your life without feeling and compassion for your fellowman—you are as an animal—an
If a man doesn't like baseball, then he must like horses, and if he doesn't like either of them, well, I'm in trouble anyway: he don't like girls.
I'd rather have cancer than a dishonest heart. Which isn't being pious. Just practical. Cancer may cool you, but the other's sure to.
She was still hugging the cat. Poor slob, she said, tickling his head, poor slob without a name. It's a little inconvenient, his not having a name. But I haven't any right to give him one: he'll have...
