The purity of a person's heart can be quickly measured by how they regard animals
Sooner barbarity than boredom.
Yes I have loved, as no one on earth ever loved, with an insensate and furious love, so violent that I wonder it did not break my heart
To love is to admire with the heart; to admire is to love with the mind.
Eyes so transparent that through them the soul is seen.
[A cat] will lie the whole evening on your knee, purring and happy in your society.
