Quote for the day

"Mostly, he remembers; he has not evolved sufficiently to have developed the capacity or even the desire to forget, and he remembers all that he has ever seen and felt. The dog cannot sense true distance--every place he has traveled seems to lie just outside his field of vision. If he ran fast enough, he could find the patch of dirt behind the Cathedral of St. John the Divine where he was born, could find Bradley and Chloe's old Riverside Drive apartment, the shelter, the Roberto Clemente Building, Mrs. Morphy's house on the South Side of Chicago, Rainbow Beach, the back of Ike's pickup truck, Wayne Cahill's squad car, the town of Croix-de-Mer. He does not understand the idea of moving to one place and leaving another behind; he can remember every place he has ever slept, and every one of them is still his home."
