"She lived at the center of the world. This is one of the things every mouse knows. Wherever she was, she was at the center of the world. That one lives in the center of the world is the world's profoundest thought. So firmly was this thought set in Whitefoot's mind that she did not need to think it. Like humans, she lived in the little world of what she knew, for there was no other world for her to live in. But she lived at the center of her world always, and of this she had no doubt."
