“I wasn't disturbing the peace, I was disturbing the war”

“In two weeks, despite these notes, I shall no longer believe in what I am experiencing now. One must leave behind a trace of this journey which memory forgets.

“I love cats because I enjoy my home; and little by little, they become its visible soul.”
