“A cat is there if you call her- if she doesn't have anything better to do.”

“The physical pain of a workout is better than the psychological pain of not doing it.”

“The people are immensely likable— cheerful, extrovert, quick-witted, and unfailingly obliging. Their cities are safe and clean and nearly always built on water.

Life doesn't get much better than this.”
