“Rosanne Daryl Thomas's tale of her enchantment by bees is a delight to read. It also contains close observations of the natural world, tales of failure and triumph with the hives, and a stellar cast of characters that includes her daughter, their cats, the hapless Farmer Tom, Pete the crossing guard, and, most important, the Bee Master. Every word tastes sweet as honey.” WorldImportantCharacterNaturalSweetMastersTasteDaughterCatCastsDelightTalesObservationTriumphFarmersHoneyTomsBeesNatural WorldCrossingsEnchantmentHivesStellar Author:Janet Lembke
“Pleasure is wild and sweet. She likes purple flowers. She loves the sun and the wind and the night sky. She carries a silver bowl full of liquid moonlight. She has a cat named Midnight with stars on his paws. Many people mistrust Pleasure, and even more misunderstand her. For a long time I could barely stand to be in ...the same room with her.” PeopleLongNightStarsPleasureRoomsSunSkySweetWindFlowerLong TimeCatLikesSilverCarrieBowlsMidnightPurpleMoonlightLiquidNight SkyMistrustPaws Author:J.

“My cat is completely blind. I am watching her now, sweet-pea that is, circling the kitchen floor and bumping into the kitchen chairs. She is kind of like a furry ball in a pinball machine...she bumps into something and then just turns and moves on...it makes me smile - although i know it's just not that funny. I think i laugh because what i really feel like doing, is crying” ThinkingKnowsFeelsKindMovingTurnsLaughingCrySweetCatMachinesBallsBlindKitchenChairsBumpsPeasFurryMake Me SmilePinballSweet Peas Author:Jann Arden
“A black cat among roses, phlox, lilac-misted under a quarter moon, the sweet smells of heliotrope and night-scented stock. The garden is very still. It is dazed with moonlight, contented with perfume.” StillsNightBlackSweetMoonGardenCatRoseSmellQuartersPerfumeMoonlightLilacDazedBlack Cat Book:Che ore sono?: poesie Source: Che ore sono?: poesie
“…and to all you other cats and chicks out there, sweet or otherwise, buried deep in wordy tombs, who never yet have walked from off the page, a shake and a hug and a kiss and a drink. Cheers!” SweetDrinkKissingPagesCatShakesCheerBuriedHugChicksTombs Author:Gilbert Sorrentino
“From his soft fur, golden and brown, Goes out so sweet a scent, one night I might have been embalmed in it By giving him one little pet. He is my household's guardian soul; He judges, he presides, inspires All matters in his royal realm; Might he be fairy? or a god? When my eyes, to this cat I love Drawn as by a magnet's force, Turn tamely back upon that appeal, And when I look within myself, I notice with astonishment The fire of his opal eyes, Clear beacons glowing, living jewels, Taking my measure, steadily.” GivingLooksLittlesHas BeensSoulMatterMightEyeNightTurnsForceClearFireInspireSweetJudgingCatGoldenAppealsRealmsFairyPetBrownHouseholdScentRoyalJewelsMight Have BeenGuardianOne NightGlowingFurMagnetAstonishmentBeaconsOpal Book:The Flowers of Evil Source: The Flowers of Evil
“I’ve always been able to tell a lot about people by whether they ask me about my scar. Most people never ask, but if it comes up naturally somehow and I offer up the story, they are quite interested. Some people are just dumb: 'Did a cat scratch you?' God bless. Those sweet dumdums I never mind. Sometimes it is a fun sociology litmus test, like when my friend Ricky asked me, 'Did they ever catch the black guy that did that to you?' Hmmm. It was not a black guy, Ricky, and I never said it was.” PeopleIfsMindSaidSometimesStoriesAbleGuyAsksFunBlackSweetOffersMy FriendsCatTestsCome UpDumbAsk MeBlessScarSociologyScratchesGod BlessHmmmBlack Guys Author:Tina Fey

It made no sense at all, but the feeling flooded through Karou, and whatever it was, it was as sweet as a patch of sun on a glossy floor and, like a cat, she just wanted to curl up in it.” MadeFeelingsWantedSunSweetCatPatchesCurls Book:The Complete Daughter of Smoke and Bone Trilogy Source: The Complete Daughter of Smoke and Bone Trilogy
