Jeanne Marie Laskas
“Now, brooder is an interesting word. People who worry a lot in silence are known as brooders. But then again so is a hen sitting on her eggs. The more I get to know chickens, the more I realize half our language comes from chickens. Well, not half. But an awful lot considering this isn't Latin or anything. Cooped up. Egghead. Hatch a plan. Henpecked. Pecker. Cock. Chickenshit. Chicken-scratch. A lot of chicken words are meant to deliver attitude, which isn't surprising to me now that I have chickens. Chickens aren't background animals like fish or sheep or horses. Chickens are in-your-face animals. Chickens if you have them, come to bracket your days. The rooster hollers all morning, and then in the evening the hens have left you their mysterious gift of eggs.

Silkies are said to be excellent brooders, to have a tendency toward "broodiness." This, too, is usually meant as a compliment.”
Jeanne Marie Laskas, Growing Girls: The Mother of All Adventures

Robert Frost
“But no, I was out for stars:
I would not come in.
I meant not even if asked,
And I hadn't been.”
Robert Frost, A Witness Tree

Paul Gallico
“No one has ever been able to discover how they make this subtle sound, and what is more, no one ever will. It is a secret that has endured from the very beginning of the time of cats and will never be revealed.”
Paul Gallico

“While the cat’s away, you may find the rats getting damned uppity.”
Simon R. Green, Daemons Are Forever
