With a sister, one can never fear that success will go to one's head.

After scolding one's cat one looks into its face and is seized by the ugly suspicion that it understood every word. And has filed it for reference.

A dog desires affection more than its dinner. Well - almost.

You can kid the world, but not your sister.

I will protect you until you are grown and then I will let you fly free, but loving you, that is for always.

Children and mothers never truly part--Bound in the beating of each other's hearts.

Success is not fame or money or the power to bewitch. it is to have created something valuable from your own individuality and skill a garden, an embroidery, a painting, a cake, a life.

We may look old and wise to the outside world. But to each other, we are still in junior school.

Human beings who leave behind them no great achievements, but only a series of small kindnesses, have not had wasted lives

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

Any cat that misses a mouse pretends it was aiming for the dead leaf.

What i like about photographs is that they capture a moment that’s gone forever, impossible to reproduce.

If an earth with no other creatures but only humans would be possible, it would be unbearably boring!

"Plain English" - everybody loves it demands it - from the other fellow.

Humanity is the virtue of a woman, generosity that of a man.

The fact that my songs take a long time to write is no guarantee of their excellence.

I write most of my own lyrics for my album and I am helping to produce some of the songs as well.

We are looking for a way to feel more real, but we do not realize that to feel more real we have to push ourselves further into the unknown.

To live is shared by all, but not to be worthy of living.

I hate negative songs; I won't sing them. It doesn't matter if it's sold 2 million more albums.

I however don't go to clubs to show off and to be seen, and certainly not to make statements. I just want to be able to quietly watch a band.
