I named my kitten Rose — fur soft as a petal, claws sharper than thorns. – Astrid Alauda
I see rejection in my skin, worry in my cancers, bitterness and hate in my aching joints. I failed to take care of my mind, and so my body now goes to hospital. – Astrid Alauda
I enjoy mowing the lawn, it relaxes me. It gets me outdoors, it’s good exercise, the freshly cut grass smells great, and the engine is loud enough that I’m sure no one else can hear my thoughts — or intrude upon them. – Astrid Alauda
We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it and stop there, lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove-lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again, and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore. – Mark Twain
