“I see you that have a little swimming mouse”

“He was the little mouse that I'd trained and fed with crumbs in my prison cell; the mouse that was crucified.”

“If you want to see if you can swim, you have to have enough faith and be willing to get your feet wet first...”

“... "You may not see the ocean, but right now we are in the middle of the ocean, and we have to keep swimming.”

“When you fall in love, your heart will pound so much you won't be able to throw a mouse let alone a cow pat.I don't think I could throw a mouse now. I dislike the idea of scrabbling little feet in my palm, unless they are yours, of course.”

“I once saw, on a flower pot in my own living room, the efforts of a field mouse to build a remembered field. I have lived to see this episode repeated in a thousand guises, and since I have spent a large portion of my life in the shade of a nonexistent tree I think I am entitled to speak for the field mouse.”
