“ Like an octopus, we contain several hearts, one to keep, some to walk around outside us ”
― Michelle Cuevas

Sy Montgomery
“ ..Octopuses appear to enjoy watching Many home aquarists report that their octopuses appear to enjoy watching television with them. They particularly like sports and cartoons, with lots of movement and color....King and her coauthor, Colin Dunlop, even suggest placing the tank in the same room as the TV, so owner and octopus can enjoy programs together. ”
― Sy Montgomery, The Soul of an Octopus: A Surprising Exploration into the Wonder of Consciousness
