The cat has complete emotional honesty - an attribute not often found in humans.

The coward dies a thousand deaths, the brave but one'.... (The man who first said that) was probably a coward.... He knew a great deal about cowards but nothing about the brave. The brave dies perhaps two thousand deaths if he's intelligent. He simply doesn't mention them.

Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare against the wind and the cold, wintry light.

I would take anything I love and throw it off the highest cliff you ever saw and not wait to hear it bounce.

There isn't any me. I'm you. Don't make up a separate me.

I love thee and thou art so lovely and so wonderful and so beautiful and it does such things to me to be with thee that I feel as though I wanted to die when I am loving thee.
