from RA Lafferty's story "Through Other Eyes"

"' I doubt if you understand pigs any better than you
understand women.  I myself, only two days ago, had a
pigs'eye view of the world, and that with your own
Cerebral Scanner...There is nothing in the pigs'eye
world that would shock even the most fastidious.  It
is a dreamy world of all-encompassing placidity,
almost entirely divorced from passion.  It's a gray
shadowy world with very little of the unpleasant.  I
had nevr before known how wonderful is the feel of
simple sunlight and of cool earth.  Yet we would soon
bored with it; but the pig is not bored.'"
