“I've never been without a dog. I've made trips across the country with a dog. I've been in that angst of loneliness, where you're really alone in the universe, except for the dog.” MadeCountryUniverseDogLonelinessAngst Author:William Shatner
“I never had a dog that showed a human fear of death. Death, to a dog, is the final unavoidable compulsion, the least ineluctable scent on a fearsome trail, but they like to face it alone, going out into the woods, among the leaves, if there are any leaves when their time comes, enduring without sentimental human distraction the Last Loneliness, which they are wise enough to know cannot be shared by anyone.” IfsKnowsHumansEnoughLastsFacesDeathWiseDogLonelinessEndureFinalsWoodsDistractionGoing OutScentSentimentalTrailsFear Of DeathCompulsion Author:James Thurber
“It might be better - more comfortable - to have a dog and two cats. All the love is focused on the cats and the dog. Am I right or wrong here? Have you seen it?

“Too many dogs continue to be abused and abandond - one is too many - and people continue to kill people for money and envy and no reason at all. Bad people succeed and good people fail, but that's not the end of the story. Miracles happen that nobody sees, and among us walk heroes who are never recognised, and people live in loneliness because they cannot believe they are loved” PeopleBelieveEndsReasonStoriesHappensWalksFailingDogLonelinessHeroSucceedMiracleEnvyNo ReasonGood PeopleBad People Author:Dean Koontz
“You can live a lifetime and, at the end of it, know more about other people than you know about yourself. You learn to watch other people, but you never watch yourself because you strive against loneliness. If you read a book, or shuffle a deck of cards, or care for a dog, you are avoiding yourself. The abhorrence of loneliness is as natural as wanting to live at all. If it were otherwise, men would never have bothered to make an alphabet, nor to have fashioned words out of what were only animal sounds, nor to have crossed continents - each man to see what the other looked like.” PeopleIfsKnowsMenBookEndsCareSoundNaturalAnimalWatchesDogLonelinessLifetimeStriveCardsAbout YourselfContinentsAvoidingBotheredDeckAlphabetShuffleAbhorrenceDeck Of Cards Book:West with the Night Source: West with the Night

“My loneliness...still comes over me sometimes...It's a liminal, lost sensation of having wandered wide, endless boulevards, among rows of orange trees, winter butterflies, seasons reversed and out of order, dogs barking from behind fences meant to keep out intruders. It's not the place that impoverishes me but I who bring my own sense of poverty, of loss, to the place. It's a sense of near nothingness, as though I were not so much a blank slate as an erased chalkboard, still bearing illegible smudges of smoothed-over writing.” WritingStillsSometimesOrderLostMy OwnLossBehindsPovertyTreeDogLonelinessSeasonsWinterWideEndlessSensationsButterflyBlankNothingnessFenceOrangeSlateBoulevardIntrudersBlank SlatesChalkboardsOrange Trees Author:Marco Roth
