- "What is the best way to get an angry kitten through airport security? I had a hard time falling asleep when I was younger, so my grandmother would mix a little brandy into some camomile tea and honey and she would sit with me for a little while. She called telling stories telling lies, so she’d tell me lies. About a boy who married a fish and had to hold his breath just to kiss her. And I’d hold my breath for as long as I could, close my eyes and make fish kisses. And when I think of it, I don’t really see any difference in boys and kittens." - Michael Stewart
- "If you don't become the ocean, you'll be seasick everyday." - Leonard Cohen
- "I had a lovers' quarrel with the world." - Robert Frost
- "If the day and the night are such that you greet them with joy, and life emits a fragrance like flowers and sweet-scented herbs, is more elastic, more starry, more immortal — that is your success. All nature is your congratulation, and you have cause momentarily to bless yourself. The greatest gains and values are farthest from being appreciated. We easily come to doubt if they exist. We soon forget them. They are the highest reality. Perhaps the facts most astounding and most real are never communicated by man to man. The true harvest of my daily life is somewhat as intangible and indescribable as the tints of morning or evening. It is a little star-dust caught, a segment of the rainbow which I have clutched." - Henry David Thoreau
- "I can see through you. No use, you say? But, you know, pleasure is always useful, and a wild boundless power -- even over a fly -- is also a pleasure, you know, in its own way. Man is a despot by nature and loves to be a tormentor. You like it terribly." - The Gambler, Fyodor Dostoevsky
