Christin's Quote Book

From P.G. Wodehouse

• “She looked as if she had been poured into her clothes and had forgotten to say, 'When.'”
• “I know I was writing stories when I was five. I don't know what I did before that. Just loafed, I suppose.”
• “Mike nodded. A sombre nod. The nod Napoleon might have given if somebody had met him in 1812 and said, 'So, you're back from Moscow, eh?'”
• “It was one of those parties where you cough twice before you speak and then decide not to say it after all.”
• “Chumps always make the best husbands. When you marry, Sally, grab a chump. Tap his head first, and if it rings solid, don't hesitate. All the unhappy marriages come from husbands having brains. What good are brains to a man? They only unsettle him.” 
• “The drowsy stillness of the afternoon was shattered by what sounded to his strained senses like G.K. Chesterton falling on a sheet of tin.”
