Paul Gallico - biography

“If there is any larceny in a man, golf will bring it out.”

“No game in the world is as tidy and dramatically neat as baseball, with cause and effect, crime and punishment, motive and result, so cleanly defined.”

“Nobody’s a natural.  You work to get good and then work to get better.  It’s hard to stay on top.”

“Kittens can happen to anyone.”
