  1. Douglas Adams _ The Salmon of Doubt

    Beauty doesn't have to be anything. What's a vase about? What's a sunset or a flower about? What, for that matter, is Mozart's Twenty-third Piano Concerto ?

  2. P.G. Wodehouse _ The Prince and Betty

    Humour, if one looks into it, is principally a matter of retrospect.

  3. P.G. Wodehouse _ The Prince and Betty

    The gods are business-like. They sell; they do not give. And for what they sell they demand a heavy price. We may buy life of them in many ways; with our honour, our health, our independence, our happiness; with our brains or with our hands. But somehow or other, in whatever currency we may choose to pay it, the price must be paid.

  4. P.G. Wodehouse _ My Man Jeeves

    I felt most awfully braced. I felt as if the clouds had rolled away and all was as it used to be. I felt like one of those chappies in the novels who calls off the fight with his wife in the last chapter and decides to forget and forgive. I felt I wanted to do all sorts of other things to show Jeeves that I appreciated him.

  5. P.G. Wodehouse _ Carry on, Jeeves

    NOW, touching this business of old Jeeves – my man, you know – how do we stand? Lots of people think I'm much too dependent on him. My Aunt Agatha, in fact, has even gone so far as to call him my keeper. Well, what I say is: Why not? The man's a genius.

    Fascination exists only in the imagination of the fascinated."

  7. P.G. Wodehouse _ The Inimitable Jeeves

    What with one thing and another, I can't remember ever having been chirpier than at about this period in my career. Everything seemed to be going right. On three separate occasions horses on which I'd invested a sizeable amount won by lengths instead of sitting down to rest in the middle of the race, as horses usually do when I've got money on them. ~ Bertram "Bertie" Wooster - The Inimitable Jeeves

  8. P.G. Wodehouse _ Blandings Castle

    Filled with a coward rage that dares to burn but does not dare to blaze, Lord Emsworth coughed a cough that was undisguisedly a bronchial white flag."

  9. P.G. Wodehouse _ Plum Pie

    It would take more than long-stemmed roses to change my view that you're a despicable cowardy custard and a disgrace to a proud family. Your ancestors fought in the Crusades and were often mentioned in despatches, and you cringe like a salted snail at the thought of appearing as Santa Claus before an audience of charming children who wouldn't hurt a fly. It's enough to make an aunt turn her face to the wall and give up the struggle.

  10. P.G. Wodehouse _ Joy in the Morning

    She came leaping towards me, like Lady Macbeth coming to get first-hand news from the guest-room.

  11. P.G. Wodehouse _ The Code of the Woosters

    She laughed - a bit louder than I could have wished in my frail state of health, but then she is always a woman who tends to bring plaster falling from the ceiling when amused.

  12. P.G. Wodehouse _ Plum Pie

    She gave me another of those long keen looks, and I could see that she was again asking herself if her favourite nephew wasn't steeped to the tonsils in the juice of the grape."
