Quote by Mark Twain, Notebook (1884 entry

Of all God's creatures there is only one that cannot be made the slave of the lash. That one is the cat. If man could be crossed with a cat it would improve man, but it would deteriorate the cat.

Of all God's creatures there is only one that cannot be made

Summary

This quote by Mark Twain highlights the unique independence and nature of cats. It suggests that cats possess a level of autonomy and defiance that is unmatched by any other creature. Twain presents the idea that if humans were to be infused with the spirit of a cat, it would have a positive impact on humans, but it would diminish the essence of what makes a cat a cat. This quote reflects on the distinct qualities of feline behavior and hints at the notion that humans could learn from the self-possession and individuality exhibited by cats.

I missed the future. Obviously I knew even before his recurrence that I'd never grow old with Augustus Waters. But thinking about Lidewij and her boyfriend, I felt robbed. I would probably never again see the ocean from thirty thousand feet above, so far up that you can't make out the waves or any boats, so that the ocean is a great and endless monolith. I could imagine it. I could remember it. But I couldn't see it again, and it occurred to me that the voracious ambition of humans is never sated by dreams coming true, because there is always the thought that everything might be done better and again.
