Famous quotes containing the words cat, stevens, early and/or life:

    You call to a dog and a dog will break its neck to get to you. Dogs just want to please. Call to a cat and its attitude is, “What’s in it for me?”
    Lewis Grizzard (1946–1994)

    Poet, patting more nonsense foamed
    From the sea, conceive for the courts
    Of these academies, the diviner health
    Disclosed in common forms.
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    In early times every sort of advantage tends to become a military advantage; such is the best way, then, to keep it alive. But the Jewish advantage never did so; beginning in religion, contrary to a thousand analogies, it remained religious. For that we care for them; from that have issued endless consequences.
    Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)

    Then farewell, world; thy uttermost I see;
    Eternal Love, maintain thy life in me.
    Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)
