“Now you people have names. That's because you don't know who you are. We know who we are, so we don't need names.”

“what is it you have, or don't have, that you sit there completely self-contained, that you can sit and know . . . and know exactly where your feet are? Yes, that's what makes cats incredible, because you know they're aware every instant of where their feet are, and they know how much they have to share with other cats, they don't try to . . . pretend . . .”

“When you are missing something you've left behind, it could be dead or lost so that you never find it again. You never really know, when you don't have something, what its condition is. That's why you grieve about it to the same degree- because you just don't know.”

“You don't know what you don't know until someone who knows tells you about it. That's when you know that there's more to know than you'll ever know.”

“They say you don't know what you don't know until you know that you don't know it.”
