"Shall we never have done with that cliché, so stupid
that it could only be human, about the sympathy of animals for man
when he is unhappy? Animals love happiness almost as much as we do.
A fit of crying disturbs them, they’ll sometimes imitate sobbing,
and for a moment they’ll reflect our sadness. But they flee
unhappiness as they flee fever, and I believe that in the long run
they are capable of boycotting it."
- Sidonie Gabrielle Colette
