1. Don't call on dogs to defend yourself against wolves. Russian proverb.

3. He remembered a story he had heard and which he had never been able to tell if it was a parabola or if it had really happened, he told it to her :

In Russia, during the Second World War, there was a food shortage. No meat or wheat. The fighting had left the land fallow. The wolves ransacked the villages, tearing up anything in sight. As if they were the invader themselves. They killed hundreds of people that winter, not just women and children. The slightly drunk old people, the lame, the paralyzed, all who were too weak to defend themselves. Dogs even. There was no one left to hunt the wolves. All the able-bodied men were still at the front, or already dead. For some inexplicable reason, the wolves had sensed this imbalance of power, so they had come, leaving behind scenes of carnage almost as gruesome as the bombardments. Doctors said they had rage, but the villagers believed they were possessed by some vengeance thirsty demon. Their howls, they said, sounded like those of ulcerated demons. "
