Foxes talked all the time, particularly if you caught them in the hen house, where they would do their best to addle you with fine nonsense until they could slip out the door, and it was generally believed that all cats could talk and simply refused to do so for inscrutable reasons of their own. ”
― T. Kingfisher, Toad Words and Other Stories

“Extremists have shown what frightens them most: a girl with a book.”
