We are face-to-face,
in the company of significant others,
companion species to one another.

Animals in Art - Michel Vanden Eeckhoudt
Dogs are our link to paradise. They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent.
To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden,
where doing nothing was not boring - it was peace.
Milan Kundera

Black & White - Transportation
Don't go far off, not even for a day, because --
because -- I don't know how to say it: a day is long
and I will be waiting for you, as in an empty station
when the trains are parked off somewhere else, asleep.

Black & White - Masks, Rites and Transformations II (The artists)
I like contradictions. We have never attained the infinite variety and contradictions that exist in nature. Tomorrow I shall contradict myself.
That is the one way I have of asserting my liberty, the real liberty
one does not find as a member of society.
Man Ray

Black & White - Horses
The New York that I had come back to was not my old New York. I used to wander around the streets disconsolately, until one night during a blizzard, I happened to see a man watering a couple of steaming horse-car horses, and I thought, “Well, there at any rate is the human touch.” That made me feel much better.

It’s easy enough that on a balcony / or in a window frame /
a woman pauses … to be / the one we lose / just by seeing her appear.
