“In living literature no person is a competent judge but of works written in his own language. I have expressed my opinion concerning a number of English writers; it is very possible that I may be mistaken, that my admiration and my censure may be equally misplaced, and that my conclusions may appear impertinent and ridiculous on the other side of the Channel.” MayPersonsLiteratureLanguageSidesNumbersOpinionWrittenJudgingRidiculousConclusionAdmirationMistakenCompetentCensureMisplaced Author:François-René de Chateaubriand
“I value in the cat the independent and almost ungrateful spirit which prevents her from attaching herself to any one, the indifference with which she passes from the salon to the housetop. When we caress her, she stretches herself and arches her back responsively; but this is because she feels an agreeable sensation, not because she takes a silly satisfaction, like the dog, in faithfully loving a thankless master. The cat lives alone, has no need of society, obeys only when she pleases, pretends to sleep that she may see more clearly, and scratches everything on which she can lay her paw.” NeedsFeelsMaySpiritValuesSleepDogMastersPleaseCatIndependentLaysSatisfactionSillyIndifferenceSensationsScratchesUngratefulCaressArchesPawsSalonsThankless Author:François-René de Chateaubriand
