Spencer Quinn
“I’d been the best leaper in K-9 class, which had led to all the trouble in a way I couldn’t remember exactly, although blood was involved.”
Spencer Quinn, Dog on It

Louise Penny
“His theory is that life is loss,’ said Myrna after a moment. ‘Loss of parents, loss of loves, loss of jobs. So we have to find a higher meaning in our lives than these things and people. Otherwise we’ll lose ourselves.”
Louise Penny, Still Life

Spencer Quinn
“And just like that, one last taste of the local grub was all alone in my mind, whatever had been there before completely gone. I couldn't have been happier, which is how I like to operate.”
Spencer Quinn, Paw and Order

Anthony Trollope
“A small daily task, if it be really daily, will beat the labours of a spasmodic Hercules.”
Anthony Trollope

“Dogs are never in a bad mood over something you said at breakfast. Dogs never sniff at the husks of old conversations, or conduct autopsies on weekends gone wrong. An unexamined life may not be worth living, but the overexamined life is hell. We talk too much.”
Abigail Thomas, A Three Dog Life
