Quote by Neil Gaiman

What's your name,' Coraline asked the cat. 'Look, I'm Coraline. Okay?''Cats don't have names,' it said.'No?' said Coraline.'No,' said the cat. 'Now you people have names. That's because you don't know who you are. We know who we are, so we don't need names.

What's your name,' Coraline asked the cat. 'Look, I'm Corali

Summary

In this quote, from Neil Gaiman's "Coraline," the cat reveals that cats do not have names because they know their identity. Unlike humans, who often use names to define themselves and establish their identity, the cat suggests that it knows exactly who it is without the need for a name. This quote is a reminder that our names do not define us and that true self-awareness lies not in external labels but in embracing our individuality and knowing ourselves.
