A thing of beauty is a boy forever.

Cats seldom make mistakes, and they never make the same mistake twice.

The lack of imagination or invention most people display in naming pussies is almost beyond credence.

One meets the cat in nearly all forms of art...curiously enough she is not a conspicuous figure in Roman or Greek art.

I've photographed everybody from Matisse to Isamu Noguchi.

...with a cat you stand on much the same footing that you stand with a fine and dignified friend; if you forfeit his respect and confidence the relationship suffers. The cat, it is well to remember, remains the friend of man because it pleases him to do so and not because he must.

There are ... two kinds of people in this world, those who long to be understood and those who long to be misunderstood. It is the irony of life that neither is gratified.
