"The cat has complete emotional honesty -..." - Quote by Ernest Hemingway

“Never fall in love?" "Always," said the count. "I am always in love.”

“It was considered a virtue not to talk unnecessarily at sea.”

“Summer is a discouraging time to work - you don't feel death coming on the way it does in the fall when the boys really put pen to paper.”

“The smallest feline is a masterpiece.”

“Cats invented self-esteem; there is not an insecure bone in their body.”

“Curiosity killed the cat, but for a while I was a suspect.”

“I often accuse my finest acquaintances of an immense frivolity; for, while there are manners and compliments we do not meet, we donot teach one another the lessons of honesty and sincerity that the brutes do, or of steadiness and solidity that the rocks do. The fault is commonly mutual; however, for we do not habitually demand any more of each other.”

“Come, swear it, damn thyself, lest, being like one of heaven, the devils themselves should fear to seize thee; therefore be double-damned, swear,--thou art honest.”

“Let us, like merchants, show our foulest wares,And think perchance they'll sell; if not,The lustre of the better yet to showShall show the better.”
