“Wasn't growing catnip in one's yard the kitty equivalent of giving candy to children?”
Caroline Paul, Lost Cat: A True Story of Love, Desperation, and GPS Technology

“Our everyday experience does not prepare us to assimilate the gaping hugeness of the Grand Canyon or the crashing grandeur of Niagara Falls..... we have no response at the ready; our usual frames of reference don't fit... which is why the experience of awe has been called a 'reset button' for the human brain.”
Caroline Paul, Tough Broad: From Boogie Boarding to Wing Walking―How Outdoor Adventure Improves Our Lives as We Age

“I was like a local sports team; they were the fans in the stadium seats. They cheered. They booed. They stood and did the Wave. The bond was palpable, maniacal, and maybe the most important thing about the experience.”
Caroline Paul, Almost Her: The strange dilemma of being nearly famous
