“Hold the cat. You’ll feel better. I don’t think so. He rubbed against my leg insistently. Hold the cat. I don’t want to hold the cat. He reared up suddenly on his hind legs, and hooked his vicious little front claws into both flesh and leggings. Don’t talk back! Pick up the cat.”
― Robin Hobb, Fool's Errand

“Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass.”
― Anton Chekhov
