“I am actually mentally stable to the point of being fairly boring.”
Roger L. Welsch;Linda K. Welsch, The Reluctant Pilgrim: A Skeptic's Journey into Native Mysteries

“There is nothing we can do or not do that successfully conceals our intentions from the dogs, it seems. ... I'd like to think they can read our minds but then it would really be scary because I'm not sure souls as tender, wise, and honest should be subjected to human perfidy.”
Roger Welsch, A Life with Dogs

“Unable to live a life with joy and freedom in it, some people try to snuff out whatever other expressions of joy and freedom they see around them. If you can't have a soul yourself, some people seem to think, then destroy those who do have souls.”
Roger Welsch, A Life with Dogs
