Joris-Karl HuysmansI was taught that candles are like house cats - domesticated versions of something wild and dangerous. There's no way to know how much of that killer instinct lurks in the darkness. I used to think the house-burning paranoia was the result of some upper-middle-class fear regarding the potential destruction of a half-million-dollar Westchester house the size of a matchbox. But then I realized the fear stemmed from something far less complex: we're not used to fire. Candles are a staple of the Judaic existence and, like many suburban residents before us, we're pretty bad Jews.

We have six resident cats - Walter, Apple, Leon Bear, Charlie Boy, Bella, and Yoda-and we have fostered over fifty kittens in the last year. He even lets the kittens play in his hair! They love it!

Honore de BalzacI grew up with a lot of cats like that and they always were so surprising, magnetic, and electrifying.

It's dangerous to live like that but it's riveting to watch.

Angela CarterI started going to Bible school really early in life. Being raised a Jehovah's Witness, I had to read the Bible over and over.

I would ask the same questions as a child. "Well, what about the little kids? What about the dogs and cats?"
Patti Smith
