“Bring it."Maybe not a declaration of love, but pure fucking Cat Thomas.”

“Increase of love brings increase of happiness, when it is mutual, and pure as that will be.”

“I was done with men. Totally and completely. I was looking forward to a life as a cat lady. I was going to get a dozen cats and a fucking great vibrator, maybe one of those rabbits I heard about, and that was it.”

“All lovers live by longing, and endure:Summon a vision and declare it pure.”

“Like all pure creatures, cats are practical.”

“It was right then that I started thinking about Thomas Jefferson on the Declaration of Independence and the part about our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And I remember thinking how did he know to put the pursuit part in there? That maybe happiness is something that we can only pursue and maybe we can actually never have it. No matter what. How did he know that?”
