“If you don't own a dog, at least one, there is not necessarily anything wrong with you, but there may be something wrong with your life.”

“I'm inclined to think that, because it's such an awful life, that politicians do go into it for the best reasons. I mean, some may love the sound of their own voice. But it's such a wearying life, you've got to be impelled by some desire to leave the world a better place than when you came into it.”
