Once [a Cat] Has Given Its Love,

Cats Are The Tigers Of Us Poor Devils.

It Is A Difficult Matter To Gain The Affection Of A Cat. He Is A Philosophical, Methodical Animal, Tenacious Of His Own Habits, Fond Of Order And Neatness, And Disinclined To Extravagant Sentiment. He Will Be Your Friend, If He Finds You Worthy Of Friendship, But Not Your Slave.

Modesty Was Made For The Ugly.

To Extract Beauty From One's Own Milieu Is One Of The Most Difficult Tasks Of Art.

Art Is Beauty, The Perpetual Invention Of Detail, The Choice Of Words, The Exquisite Care Of Execution.
