The Education of Will Quotes

“We are hardwired to remember negative events over positive ones, so we ruminate on our mistakes and the slights of others. Our ability to use language means that we can spend hours mentally criticizing what we did in the past or worrying about what we'll do in the future. No wonder we love dogs, who don't need meditation retreats to get over the shame of getting into the garbage last Thursday.”
― Patricia B. McConnell, The Education of Will: A Mutual Memoir of a Woman and Her Dog
