“Theology is never any help; it is searching in a dark cellar at midnight for a black cat that isn't there. Theologians can persuade themselves of anything.”
“In the dark, all cats are black.”
“Fresh blood at midnight isn't red. It's a purplish black that easily blends into the shadows.”
“The hardest thing of all is to find a black cat in a dark room, especially if there is no cat.”
“Having five cats around the house helps me have no expectations. They are not goal-fulfilling creatures in any human sense. There is little one can expect of a cat.”
“One should not search for anything behind the phenomena. They themselves are the message.”
