One is always seeking the touchstone that will dissolve one's deficiencies as a person and as a craftsman. And one is always bumping up against the fact that there is none except hard work, concentration, and continued application.

More quotes by Paul Gallico
There is the little matter of disposal of droppings in which the cat is far ahead of its rivals. The dog is somehow thrilled by what he or any of his friends have produced, hates to leave it, adores smelling it, and sometimes eats it.
Paul Gallico
When two people loved each other they worked together always, two against the world, a little company. Joy was shared trouble was split. You had an ally.
Paul Gallico
No one can be as calculatedly rude as the British, which amazes Americans, who do not understand studied insult and can only offer abuse as a substitute.
Paul Gallico
You learn eventually that, while there are no villains, there are no heroes either. And until you make the final discovery that there are only human beings, who are therefore all the more fascinating, you are liable to miss something.
Paul Gallico
Everything a cat is and does physically is to me beautiful, lovely, stimulating, soothing, attractive and an enchantment.
Paul Gallico
A cat doesn't linger over making it's desires felt.
Paul Gallico
It is the custom to sneer at the modern apartment-house, television, big-city Christmas, with its commercial taint . . . office parties, artificial . . . Christmas trees . . . but future generations in search of their lost Christmases may well remember its innocence yes, and its beauty, too.
