I have given my pain a name and call it "dog"Mit is every bit as faithful, every bit as nosey and shameless, every bit as entertai...ning, every bit as clever as any other dog--and I can boss it around and vent my bad moods on it, just as others do with their dogs, servants, and wives.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
If church prelates, past or present, had even an inkling of physiology they'd realise that what they term this inner ugliness crea...tes and nourishes the hearing ear, the seeing eye, the active mind, and energetic body of man and woman, in the same way that dirt and dung at the roots give the plant its delicate leaves and the full-blown rose.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

These Republican leaders have not been content with attacks on me, or my wife, or on my sons. No, not content with that, they now ...include my little dog Fala. Well, of course I don't resent attacks, but Fala does resent them.

He has not been the same dog since.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Childhood fears and fantasies about animals are directly connected with their feelings and fears of their parents. Cats are associ...ated with the mother, and dogs with the father.

The child who is afraid of being attacked by a dog is expressing a disguised fear of his father. Animal symbolism in this way often appears in dreams in both childhood and adulthood.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
