I have eyes like those of a dead pig.
Anyone who has ever looked into the glazed eyes of a soldier dying on the battlefield will think hard before starting a war.
I am fond of pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.
I've always loved pigs: the shape of them, the look of them, and the fact that they are so intelligent.
A pig has a plow on the end of its nose because it does meaningful work with it. It is built to dig and create soil disturbance, something it can't do in a concentrated feeding environment. The omnivore has historically been a salvage operation for food scraps around the homestead.
It is a golden maxim to cultivate the garden for the nose, and the eyes will take care of themselves.

When we know as much about people as hog specialists know about hogs, we'll be better off.
I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it.
