'I know you love me. It's a mistake you always made, trying to love a wild thing. You were always lugging home wild things. Once it was a hawk with a broken wing, another time it was a full-grown wildcat with a broken leg.You musn't give your heart to a wild thing.The more you do, the stronger they get, until they're strong enough to run into the woods or fly into a tree. And then to a higher tree and then to the sky.'
