I like pigs.
Dogs look up to us.
Cats look down on us.
Pigs treat us as equals.
–Winston Churchill
A preference for pigs
Sillier and better fun
“Talking of beasts and birds…when you read a scientific account of any animal’s life, you get an impression of laborious, incessant almost rational economic activity, as if all animals were Germans. But when you study any animal you know, what strikes you is their cheerful fatuity, the pointlessness of nearly all they do. Say what you like, Barfield. The world is sillier and better fun than they make out.”
–C. S. Lewis
A letter to Owen Barfield
