Hanno detto Chiunque nella vita sia indifferente alla bellezza, all'eleganza, al candore, all'intelligenza, all'affetto di cui è capace un gatto, è povero come chi, passeggiando d'estate per una strada di campagna, è cieco ai fiori tra le siepi, sordo ai canti degli uccelli, al ronzio degli insetti, al mormorio delle foglie al vento
E. Hamilton
Anche se fa le fusa accanto al camino, abbiamo un animale selvaggio e così ribelle e puro come nessun altro sotto la volta del cielo
Alan Devoe
I gatti sono incompresi perché rifiutano di spiegarsi; enigmatici lo sono solo per coloro che ignorano la potenza espressiva del silenzio
