“Waiting turns men into bears in a barn, and women into cats in a sack.”
“The guitar filled with rain, rain softened the paper sacks, the sacks split and perfume spilled on the pavement, pearls rolled in the gutter: while the wind pushed and the cat scratched, the cat screamed -- but worse, I was frightened, a coward to equal Jose: those storming streets seemed aswarm with unseen presences waiting to trap, imprison me for aiding an outlaw.”
“Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.”
“Women and cats do as they damned well please, and men and dogs had best learn to live with it.”
“Wait till it’s my turn to tell the story! They’ll be like ‘Bear who?”
“Men trust God by risking rejection. Women trust God by waiting.”
