"That's when Stump realized that the little dog only had three legs. That dog jumped and ran after that ball for about ten minutes and never once lost its balance.
'Stump, I want to ask you something son'
'Yes m'am'
'Did that dog look like she was happy to be alive?'
'Yes'
'Did it look like it was having a good time?'
'Yes'
'Did it look to you like she felt sorry for herself?'
'No m'am'
p. 115
'There are magnificent beings on this Earth, son, that are walking around us posing as humans' p. 131
'Now, there is a woman who's got her freedom. Nobody gives a shit where she is and ain't nobody checkin' up on her, you can be damn sure of that'. p. 259
