There's hardly anywhere in literature where you don't find a triangle.

Stories should be natural as apples, brief as lust, long as a thought.

Some animals are secretive; some are shy. A cat is private.

I read assiduously. I kept in touch with my species.

Looking at a cat, like looking at clouds or stars or the ocean, makes it difficult to believe there is nothing miraculous in this world.

I can only gesture at what makes a story good.
