“I want to tell you the story about a man.
While other people were laughing and drinking, this man would just walk until he reached the exact same spot, where he'd sit with his back to all those people---

“Monkeys, moose, cows, dogs, butterflies, buffaloes. What we would give to have the ruined lives of animals tell a human story - when our lives are in themselves the story of animals.”
