"My relationship with cats has saved me from a deadly and pervasive ignorance. I prefer cats to people, for the most part. Most people aren't cute at all, and if they are cute they very rapidly outgrow it."
William S. Burroughs BOTD
with one of his many cats circa 1996
Paris at night
Three matches one by one struck in the night
The first to see the whole of your face
The second to see your eyes
The last to see your mouth
And the complete and utter darkness to remember them all
While holding you in my arms.
Jacques Prevert BOTD
1900 – 1977

"Hold fast to dreams,
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams,
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow."
