Aging is a Privilege denied to many.

 

“I'm not opposed to aging. I am too busy to survive and get my ducks in a row so that I can enjoy my retirement or should I rather say, Live my Life the way I want to. I do not look at aging as the enemy. It happens whether I like it or not and no one is set apart from growing old; it comes to us all. Youth passes from everyone, so why deny it. I am proud of my age. I'm proud that I've survived this planet for as long as I have, and should I end up withered, wrinkled and with a lifetime of great wisdom, I'll trade the few years of youth for the sophistication of a great mind...for however long it lasts.”

“Cats are connoisseurs of comfort.” – James Herriot.

“Cats know how to obtain food without labor, shelter without confinement,

 and love without penalties.” – W. L. George

“The memories and paw print of a beloved cat remains in our heart and soul forever.” 

“No one can truly understand the bond we form with the cats we love until they

 experience the loss of one.”

 

“When the cat you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure.” 

“I love cats because I enjoy my home"

“I love my cats more than I love most people." 

“Every cat is my best friend.” 

"Who needs friends when you have cats."

“All you need is love and a cat.” 

“What greater gift than the love of a cat?”

“Cats leave paw prints in your heart, forever and always.” 

“Heaven will never be Paradise unless my cats are there waiting for me.” 

Rita Hayworth (1918-1987) - Quoted - Old age — that's when a woman takes vitamins A through G, and still looks like H.

 Rita Hayworth was an American actress, dancer, and producer. She achieved fame during the 1940s as one of the era's top stars, appearing in 61 films over 37 years. The press coined the term "The Love Goddess" to describe Hayworth after she had become the most glamorous screen idol of the 1940s.

Whatever you write about me, don't make it sad.

When you're in love you're living, you matter.

“After all, a girl is – well, a girl. It’s nice to be told you’re successful at it.”

“(about her marriage to Edward Judson] “I married him for love; he married me for an investment. My husband was always finding fault with me. He was extremely jealous and quarrelsome. I never had any fun. I was never permitted to make any decisions. From the first he told me I couldn’t do anything for myself. My personality crawled deeper and deeper into a shell.” – Rita Hayworth

I think all women have a certain elegance about them which is 

destroyed when they take off their clothes.

All I wanted was just what everybody else wants, you know, to be loved.
