“You don't know what you are talking about, and no one sounds so silly as one who tries to talk about something he knows nothing about.”
― Thornton W. Burgess, The Burgess Bird Book for Children: Illustrated

“God didn't come down and kill us. I don't see God shooting children and priests. None of us met God beating up Jews and shoving them into railroad cars. This is men doing the murdering. Talk to men about their evil, kill the evil men, but pray to God. You can't expect God to come down and do our living for us. We have to do that ourselves.”
― Louise Murphy, The True Story of Hansel and Gretel

“The job of a good dog was ultimately to be with them, remaining by their sides no matter what course their lives might take. All I could do now was offer him comfort, the assurance that as he left this life he was not alone but rather was tended by the dog who loved him more than anything in the whole world.”
― W. Bruce Cameron, A Dog's Purpose

“They feared him, and because they feared him, they hated him.

....You see, they didn't understand that really he had one of the kindest hearts in the world; and he didn't understand that they hated him just because they didn't know him.”
― Thornton W. Burgess, The Adventures of Chatterer the Red Squirrel
