Max reflects on what he might have become if only he didn't drop out of obedience school.

At the end of each day, Gary had approximately 7 minutes of free time – which left him feeling very vulnerable.

"I want him to have the serenity to accept the things he can't pee on, the patience to pee on the things he can outside, and the wisdom to know the difference." "But I'll probably just take him to a trainer."

"Ooh, ooh, I know this koan! I got it! Pick me! Pick me!"

'Hey! Contemplate your own navel!'

Maximilian could see far away places,but he never told anyone.

"Geez, from way up here it almost looks like there’s hope for humanity."

"The overthinker"

"Wait... what was it I came up here for?"

"Ever feel like even when you're barking at something you're still barking at nothing?"

Zenemies.

"I could catch a bicyclist, well maybe not a bicyclist, but I could catch a jogger, definitely."

"If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore, and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the city of God which had been shown! … Emerson" "Good boy!"

"Lately, I've been trying to spend less time staring at the glowing orb."

"How come I can't remember what I forget, but I always remember that I forgot something!"

"Shhh - he's trying open his third nostril."

'Sometimes I think about getting away from all this and get a job as a cab driver in New York city...'

"Is it just me, or do these sculptural forms of light and shadow make you think about the ephemeral nature of life, the spirituality of the moment eclipsing our futile quest for cheese?"

"Exactly what is this 'nothing' I've been hearing so much about?"

Soren Kierkegaard

'Do you ever wonder about this whole 'money' thing?'

'Have you ever imagined a world without stupid hypothetical questions?'

"No, wait. What if the cop character is the murderer, and the mobster guy is completely innocent?"

"Autumn already? O.K., I'll come down."

"Behold my perfect window of existence, when I'm neither trying to wake up nor falling asleep."

"Gazing at stars really makes you realise the insignificance of your co-workers."

"Just think of it, Charles – yesterday I was a caterpillar, and tomorrow I'll be dead."

Metaphors.
