“.I thought of the old idea--is it in Milton or Dante, maybe both--that the pleasure of heaven is God's gaze upon us, the bliss of being seen by him. Maybe we got that idea from how dogs respond to us, the way they lift their ears and shiver with excitement, how you can work them up with the sound of your voice; it's intoxicating to be the object of such devotion, of course we love dogs.” — Garth Greenwell
