Cats are the wildest of the tame and the tamest of the wild

My own luck has been curious all my literary life; I never could tell a lie that anyone would doubt, nor a truth that anybody would believe.

Some things you can't find out; but you will never know you can't by guessing and supposing: no, you have to be patient and go on experimenting until you find out that you can't find out.

His money is twice tainted: taint yours and taint mine.

The longing of my heart is a fairy portrait of myself: I want to be pretty; I want to eliminate facts and fill up the gap with charms.

Supposing is good, but finding out is better.

I was dead for millions of years before I was born and it never inconvenienced me a bit.
