Meandering freely . . .

Today is the birthday of Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette (January 28, 1873 – August 3, 1954), novelist. She is best known only by her surname, Colette and for her novel Gigi.

"You will do foolish things, but do them with enthusiasm."
— Colette

"It's so curious: one can resist tears and 'behave' very well in the hardest hours of grief. But then someone makes you a friendly sign behind a window, or one notices that a flower that was in bud only yesterday has suddenly blossomed, or a letter slips from a drawer... and everything collapses."
— Colette

"Dogs believe they are human. Cats believe they are God. "
— Colette

"Our perfect companions never have fewer than four feet."
— Colette

"Time spent with a cat is never wasted."
— Colette

"There are no ordinary cats."
— Colette
