'I don't want him experiencing anything until I've totally checked it out.'

"It's not the persistent lack of sunlight or freezing temperatures that bother me - it's the crowds I can't stand."

"Barking sometimes helps me relax. But then it drives the neighbors crazy."

Pinocchio's Second Realization

"Try thinking about something else."

'I guess my brain just started to really care about itself.'
