With Cats, some say, one rule is true: Don’t speak till you are spoken to. Myself, I do not hold with that — I say, you should ad-dress a Cat. But always keep in mind that he Resents familiarity. I bow, and taking off my hat, Ad-dress him in this form: O Cat! But if he is the Cat next door, Whom I have often met before (He comes to see me in my flat) I greet him with an oopsa Cat! I think I've heard them call him James — But we've not got so far as names.

T. S. Eliot

Cassandra Clare

Imagine any problem you have to be a huge, locked door standing in front of you. Now see yourself taking a golden key out of your pocket.

On the key are inscribed these words, "Unconditional Love."

A gunshot rang out, blasting a hole in the door. A crossbow quarrel zinged through the hole and stuck quivering into the opposite wall.

"That was awesome," Seth told Kendra. "You're psychotic," Kendra replied.

Brandon Mull
