Is a little experience too much to pay for learning to know oneself?

There are ... two kinds of people in this world, those who long to be understood and those who long to be misunderstood. It is the irony of life that neither is gratified.

The cat, it is well to remember, remains the friend of man because it pleases him to do so and not because he must.

One meets the cat in nearly all forms of art...curiously enough she is not a conspicuous figure in Roman or Greek art.

The cat is the only animal without visible means of support who still manages to find a living in the city.

Cats have gnosis to a degree that is granted to few bishops.

The cat seldom interferes with other people's rights. His intelligence keeps him from doing many of the fool things that complicate life.

A cat is never vulgar.

Cats seldom make mistakes, and they never make the same mistake twice.

A thing of beauty is a boy forever.

Note 4. For these and other reasons the cat is also very hard to photograph. The best photographs are instantaneous, as the mere breathing of a cat will blur the fur in a time exposure.

But ironically the believers have done worse in exploring the earth than sons of men who are not even believers have done.

Be a gentleman, and do it gently.

When I was a worker I busied myself with socialist or, if you like, marxist literature.

I don’t want to do what my idols did… I want to do more than they did. And I feel like I’m on my way.

I'm a traitor, but I don't consider myself a traitor.

Don't ever get wrapped up with what other people think you should look like.

They who are sad find somehow sweetness in tears.

I never had a movie that I wanted to do turned down in my whole life. I always write the script first so it speaks for itself.

I was fascinated by each area I studied, whether neurology, urology or surgery.

I hate the word practice. Practice breeds inurement. Instead of discovering, of distinguishing traits that are deeply hidden or merely veiled, one ends seeing nothing anymore. One ceases to be aware.
