I will protect you until you are grown and then I will let you fly free, but loving you, that is for always.

Any cat that misses a mouse pretends it was aiming for the dead leaf.

Success is not fame or money or the power to bewitch. it is to have created something valuable from your own individuality and skill a garden, an embroidery, a painting, a cake, a life.

After scolding one's cat one looks into its face and is seized by the ugly suspicion that it understood every word. And has filed it for reference.

People meeting for the first time suddenly relax if they find they both have cats. And plunge into anecdote.

A dog trusts deeply and so is easily betrayed.

I will protect you until you are grown and then I will let you fly free, but loving you, that is for always.
