“Admitting failure is quite cleansing, but never - pleasurable.”

Animals are sentient, intelligent, perceptive, funny and entertaining. We owe them a duty of care as we do to children.
When children are very young, you read them books that are positive to help them go to sleep. But there comes a moment when they begin to understand the difficulties of the world. They know there are problems and the books they read should reflect that, not gloss over them.
It is the child's understanding that teaches the adults the way of the future. They're still doing it today with modern technology.
A lot of children, like I did, move away from words because of the fear - which is something you have to take out of education: the fear of worrying about what marks you'll get, detention, worrying about letting people down, your parents, teachers.
