Humor brings insight and tolerance. Irony brings a deeper and less friendly understanding.

Humor distorts nothing, and only false gods are laughed off their earthly pedestals.

A kitten is in the animal world what a rosebud is in the garden.

It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.

It is impossible for a lover of cats to banish these alert, gentle, and discriminating friends, who give us just enough of their regard and complaisance to make us hunger for more.
