Every act of creation is like a newborn child, needing loving care and lots of attention, consuming your time and energy, and not necessarily profit-making. (Faith Puleston)

The predilection to do something does not actually achieve anything. (Faith Puleston)

Faith Puleston - From the Pets category:
I once had a wonderful cat named Ludwig (van Beethoven).
