Doorways are sacred to women for we are the doorways of life and we must choose what comes in and what goes out.

If I observe my cats carefully, it is partly because I observe everyone I deal with as carefully as I can and partly because they amuse and entertain me. They are an important part of the fabric of my daily life.
