The purity of a person's heart can be quickly measured by how they regard animals

No one is truly dead until they are no longer loved.

The cat is a dilettante in fur.

Our busy age does not always have time to read, but it always has time to look.

Art is beauty, the perpetual invention of detail, the choice of words, the exquisite care of execution.

Whatever may have been said of the satiety of pleasure and of the disgust which usually follows passion, any man who has anything of a heart and who is not wretchedly and hopelessly blasé feels his love increased by his happiness, and very often the best way to retain a lover ready to leave is to give one's self up to him without reserve.

It is difficult to obtain the friendship of a cat.
