“Cats are funny. They get embarrassed. They’ll stumble or get stuck or do something silly, and then they’ll straighten up, look about—act like they meant to do that. Even when they don’t think anyone is watching, they’ll put on a little play of competency and grace. I don’t know, maybe they assume someone is always watching. They do have a vain streak. Or maybe cats don’t need a witness to feel embarrassment. Maybe they’re better than us in that way. “Because people...people are shameless. We are different beasts when we think no one is looking. We are strange and frightening things.”
― Joshiah Bancroft-The Hexologest

“remember what it felt like…being part of something bigger. Something that carries you along like a grain of sand. You can’t fight it—you don’t want to—because alone you are just one grain. Together you are the desert.”

“I've realized a world run by people who think they are better will never be better for everyone.”
