I don't have pet peeves I have whole kennels of irritation.

I don't have pet peeves I have whole kennels of irritation.

Summary

This quote humorously suggests that the speaker does not simply have minor annoyances, but rather has a vast collection of things that irritate them. By using the metaphor of a "kennel" (a place where dogs are housed), the speaker emphasizes the magnitude of their irritations. It implies that the speaker may be easily bothered by various aspects of life or have strong reactions to things that others may consider trivial. This quote highlights the speaker's intense level of annoyance and implies that their irritations extend beyond just a few "pet peeves."

Nations and peoples who forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and freedoms.

How many a man has dated a new era in his life from the reading of a book! The book exists for us, perchance, that will explain our miracles and reveal new ones. The at present unutterable things we may find somewhere uttered.
