“Go in peace, James Carstairs.”

“When I go let it be like James Dean, I don't want to die slow.”

“Cats are cats… the world over!
These intelligent, peace-loving, four-footed friends- who are without prejudice, without hate, without greed- may someday teach us something.
-James Mackintosh Qwilleran”

“I'll go sleep on the couch," James said. "No, you won't," Poppy said firmly. She flopped on the bed beside him. "You're dead tired. And I know I'm safe with you." James grinned without moving his arm. "Because I'm dead tired?”

“Do everything with a mind that lets go. Don’t accept praise or gain or anything else. If you let go a little you a will have a little peace; if you let go a lot you will have a lot of peace; if you let go completely you will have complete peace.”

“Sir,” James asked, “what are we going to do?”
“We’re going to look for water,” said Alf.
“And food?” said Tubby Ted.
“Water first,” said Alf. “We can go days without food.”
“We can what?” Tubby Ted shouted.”

“Come in peace to my home, Tan-Tan. And when you go, go in friendship.”

“I'm going to give you a peaceful Basque Country”

“A general peace erected upon such foundations can be discussed. Until such a peace can be secured we have no choice but to go on.”

“No matter which way I go I know now that I will never have peace.
For peace is certainty, and there is no certainty but death.”
