"The act, though born of protection, is met with a cruel twist of fate—an unkind gaze that paints it as sin. It becomes a stain on the soul, a reason for others to turn away, to see it as a menace."

This is amazing!!! I dont even know where to begin, this has to be one of my favourite texts! I was captivated!

i got SO EXCITED seeing this in my inbox (and now i get to be first like and first comment) because i LOVE this quote and i LOVED isle of dogs and this was written so well and i think i want to print these quotes out and tape them to my wall:

"There is a moment when the softness turns to edge, not out of choice, but out of necessity."

"Others may be allowed their defenses and be met with understanding, but when this dog bites, it is a brand upon it, a mark that clings regardless of the extent of its own suffering."

"The act of biting, though born from necessity, becomes a burden."

"The creature longs for a world that sees beyond the bite."
