“Священник утверждал, что нельзя любить женщину и не полюбить ночь, и звезды, и воздух, которым она дышит, и солнце, согревающее ее волосы. Нельзя любить девочку и не полюбить полевые цветы, которые она приносит с прогулки, и дворнягу или кота, которых она таскает на руках, и даже ситец, из которого сшит ее передник. Нельзя любить море и не любить горы; нельзя любить летние дни и не любить дождь; нельзя любить птиц и не любить рыб; нельзя любить людей — всех или немногих — и не полюбить зверей полевых и зверей лесных; нельзя любить зверей и не полюбить траву, деревья, кусты, цветы, вереск и мох.”
― Paul Gallico, Thomasina

“For the fashioning of a proper doom is in the manner of weaving. Through the long warp of character, ambition, greed, habit, intolerance, yearning, faith, love and hatreds of the humans, the loom bed from which they cannot escape, we interlace the strands of chance, threads borrowed momentarily from the lives of others, the stranger, the friend, the innocent, the guilty, the young, the old, a chance phrase overheard, a corner turned just an instant too soon, a word spoken in anger, later regretted, a letter delayed, an article forgotten or left behind, some trifling matter overlooked, the ill-temper of another.”
― Paul Gallico, Thomasina

“I am sorry, Andrew. In the end, you will help yourself. You will not find, you will be found, for that is the way it has always been. That which you will some day experience is not so much a faith or a belief in a myth or series of myths, as a deep-seated feeling, a conviction that fills every corner of one’s being until there is no longer so much as an atom’s area of room for doubt. And to this conviction you can only help yourself. No one as yet has been able to explain a revelation or foresee the moment thereof.”
― Paul Gallico, Thomasina: The Cat Who Thought She Was a God

“Creation and the world created, along with the Creator were a perpetual joy to him and his mission seemed to be to see that his flock appreciated and was properly grateful for all the wonders and beauties of nature, man and beast as well as the great and marvellous unexplained mysteries of the universe. He did not try to explain God, the Father, or the Son, but worked to help his people love and enjoy Him.”
