Animals

The mosquito knows full well that he is small, he is a beast of prey

I have studied many philosophers and many cats. The wisdom of the cats is infinitely superior.

You must have the bird in your heart before you can find it in the bush.

Cats and monkeys; monkeys and cats; all human life is there.

Animals are my friends and I don’t eat my friends.

It never troubles the wolf how many the sheep may be.

Don't think there are no crocodiles because the waters are calm

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth

Give a dog a bad name and hang him.

It's the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

Until one has loved an animal a part of one's soul remains unawakened

One must ask children and birds how cherries and strawberries taste

Oh, love will make a dog howl in rhyme

A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than you love yourself

People who keep dogs are cowards who haven't got the guts to bite people themselves

There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats.

Time spent with cats is never wasted

I believe cats to be spirits come to earth. A cat, I am sure, could walk on a cloud without coming through

I wish I could write as mysterious as a cat

I value my garden more for being full of blackbirds than of cherries, and very frankly give them fruit for their songs
