If you are worthy of its affection, a cat will be your friend but never your slave.

It is difficult to obtain the friendship of a cat. It is a philosophical animal... one that does not place its affections thoughtlessly.

Eyes so transparent that through them the soul is seen.

Who can believe that there is no soul behind those luminous eyes!

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

To love is to admire with the heart; to admire is to love with the mind.

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

The cat makes himself the companion of your hours of solitude, melancholy and toil.

The most fitting occupation for a civilized man is to do nothing.

Modesty was made for the ugly.

Books follow morals, and not morals books.

Dean Koontz is good in the silence makes silence... then he just attacks!- WOW

But, when you have to resort to turntables, trick lights, flashing lights, fire and all that, you're actually saying, I need this because what I do is not all that together.

People meeting for the first time suddenly relax if they find they both have cats. And plunge into anecdote.

Every time something bad happens, like we lose a day because of weather or an actor gets injured or anything else happens, the schedule has to change. It's the most challenging Tetris puzzle.

There's no symmetry in nature. One eye is never exactly the same as the other. There's always a difference. We all have a more or less crooked nose and an irregular mouth.

To be a professional tennis player you need to put in these sort of hours.

The sun shineth upon the dunghill, and is not corrupted.

The mid-day sun is too much for most eyes; one is dazzled even with its reflection. Be careful that too broad and high an aim does not paralyze your effort and clog your springs of action.

My piece of bread only belongs to me when I know that everyone else has a share, and that no one starves while I eat.

The pursuit of strength is inherently difficult and entirely worthwhile.
