Citas de Jon Katz

• Es difícil vernos tal como somos. A veces tenemos la suerte de contar con buenos amigos, amantes u otras personas que nos harán el buen servicio de decirnos la verdad sobre nosotros mismos. Cuando no es así, podemos engañarnos muy fácilmente, perder el sentido de la verdad sobre nosotros mismos y nuestra conciencia pierde poder y propósito. La mayoría de las veces, nos decimos a nosotros mismos lo que nos gustaría oír. Perdemos el rumbo.

• Animals have come to mean so much in
  our lives. We live in a fragmented and disconnected culture. Politics are ugly,
  religion is struggling, technology is stressful, and the economy is unfortunate.
  What's one thing that we have in our lives
  that we can depend on? A dog or a cat
  loving us unconditionally , every day, very
  faithfully.

• Creo que si he aprendido algo sobre la amistad, es a aguantar, a seguir conectado, a luchar por ellos y a dejar que ellos luchen por ti. No te alejes, no te distraigas, no estés demasiado ocupado o cansado, no los des por sentados. Los amigos son parte del pegamento que mantiene unidas la vida y la fe. Algo muy poderoso.

• Dogs are voiceless ... a critical part of having dogs is emotional responsibility: learning how to understand them and, when necessary, to speak and act on their behalf.

• Dogs are born knowing exactly what they want to do: eat, scratch, roll in disgusting stuff, sniff and squabble with other dogs, roam, sleep, have sex. Little of this is what we want them to do, of course. We ask them to sit, stay, smell peasant, practice abstinence, and be accommodating.

• The immature conscience is not its own master. It simply parrots the decisions of others. It does not make judgments of its own; it merely conforms to the judgments of others. That is not real freedom, and it makes true love impossible, for if we are to love truly and freely, we must be able to give something that is truly our own to another. If our heart does not belong to us, asks Merton, how can we give it to another?

• A border collie named Orson inspired me to buy a 110-acre farm with four barns and a sheep. That led to a series of books about Bedlam Farm and about dogs, rural life, lambing and herding sheep.

• Most Americans acquire dogs impulsively and for dubious reasons: as a Christmas gift for the kids. Because they saw one in a movie. To match the new living-room furniture. Because they moved to the suburbs and see a dog as part of the package.

• Americans have an extraordinary love-hate relationship with the rich culture they've created. They buy, watch and read it even as they ban, block and condemn it.

• If you're going to love animals and have a life with them, the odds are you're going to lose them. It's helpful when you get a dog to accept the fact that this dog is not going to be with you your whole life.

• Somos humanos, y sufrimos, y a diferencia de los animales de la granja, somos conscientes de nosotros mismos, y sabemos que sufrimos, y no nos duele más o menos si Dios lo causó o podría detenerlo, al menos para mí. Definitivamente soy de la escuela que cree que Dios tiene cosas más importantes de las que preocuparse que de mí.
