Cats

Famous quotes containing the word cats:

    Childhoods will be put away, the obscene nightmare abated.”
    —Louise Bogan (1897–1970)

    “Proportion ... You can’t help thinking about it in these London streets, where it doesn’t exist.... It’s like listening to a symphony of cats to walk along them. Senseless discords and a horrible disorder all the way.... A concert of Brobdingnagian cats. Order has been turned into a disgusting chaos. We need no barbarians from outside; they’re on the premises, all the time.”
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    “Animals are ever so psychic. There are some people who just can’t come in here.... The cats particularly. They seem to know. You can fool everybody, but landy M deary-me, you can’t fool a cat. They seem to know who’s not right, if you know what I mean.”
    —Dewitt Bodeen (1908–1988)
