He would rather have jumped at once to Strong’s pure denial, than yield an inch to the argument that a mystery was to be paltered with because it could not be explained.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“For if he meets another cat he will kiss her in kindness.
For when he takes his prey he plays with it to give it chance.”
—Christopher Smart (1722–1771)
