“Only the insane equate pain with success."
"The uninformed must improve their deficit, or die."
_Cheshire Cat”

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

“The painful experience of many gamblers has taught us the lesson that no system of betting is successful in improving the gambler's chances. If the theory of probability is true to life, this experience must correspond to a provable statement.”

“The difference between insanity and genius is measured only by success and failure.”

“If man could be crossed with a cat, it would improve man but deteriorate the cat.”

“My cat is not insane, she's just a really good actress.”

“Anyone who understands algebraic notation, reads at a glance in an equation results reached arithmetically only with great labour and pains.”

“And I a smiling woman. I am only thirty. And like the cat I have nine times to die.”

“There are times when the mind is dealt such a blow it hides itself in insanity. While this may not seem beneficial, it is. There are times when reality is nothing but pain, and to escape that pain the mind must leave reality behind.”

“Sometimes success demands a certain refined insanity.”
