The man who will not defend the honour of his cat cannot be trusted to defend anything.
Robert Lynd.
“In order to see birds it is necessary to become a part of the silence.”
“If the poets offered us nothing more than another make-believe world, they would be mere sellers of drugs or, at best, sweetmeats.”
“The days on which one has been the most inquisitive are among the days on which one has been happiest.”
“Were I a philosopher, I should write a philosophy of toys, showing that nothing else in life need to be taken seriously, and that Christmas Day in the company of children is one of the few occasion...”
“A cat is only technically an animal, being divine.”
“There is nothing in which the birds differ more from man than the way in which they can build and yet leave a landscape as it was before.”
“What greater gift than the love of a cat.”
“After all, a woman who doesn't love cats is never going to be make a man happy.”
“If cats looked like frogs we'd realize what nasty, cruel little bastards they are. Style. That's what people remember.”
