Quotes from the works of PG Wodehouse. Hit refresh for a new quote.

`If I had my life to live again, Jeeves, I would start it as an orphan without any aunts. Don't they put aunts in Turkey in sacks and drop them in the Bosphorus?'

you, Jeeves, and you may quote me as saying this: Behind every poor, innocent, harmless blighter who is going down for the third time in the soup you will find, if you look carefully enough, the aunt who shoved him into it.'

they are all alike. Sooner or later, out pops the cloven hoof.'


And more: It was a confusion of ideas between him and one of the lions he was hunting in Kenya that had caused A. B. Spottsworth to make the obituary column. He thought the lion was dead, and the lion thought it wasn't.

And again: My Aunt Dahlia has a carrying voice... If all other sources of income failed, she could make a good living calling the cattle home across the Sands of Dee. Jeeves and Song of Songs (1930)

Oh criminy, this is priceless: My personal animosity against a writer never affects my opinion of what he writes. Nobody could be more anxious than myself, for instance, that Alan Alexander Milne should trip over a loose bootlace and break his bloody neck, yet I re-read his early stuff at regular intervals with all the old enjoyment.

"As life goes on, don't you find that all you need is about two real friends, a regular supply of books, and a Peke?"

Substitute "dog" for "Peke"--I'm an equal opportunity dog person--and I'd be perfectly content.
