Like a frenzied bat in a burning oven, Louis’ heart was a screaming, flapping mess.
他哭了好几年，但与此同时，他又有了一种不同寻常的新发现:他越是痛苦，他的作品就越美。
He wept without ceasing for several years, but at the same time, he was overtaken by an extraordinary new discovery, that the more intensely he suffered, the more beautiful his work became.

And it’s up to you to capture it, Louis.
去找。
To look.
并与尽可能多的人分享。
And to share it with as many people as you can.

It is only through understanding cats, how they are misunderstood and mistreated, for no other reason than simple blind prejudice, that I came to understand human beings.
我们都被一种邪恶的电腐蚀了。
How we are all corrupted by a foul form of electricity.
只有通过那些具有变革天赋的人的努力，我们才能战胜它。
And it is only through the work of those who have the transformative gift that we can defeat it.
