Some minds are like soup in a poor restaurant—better left unstirred.
P. G. Wodehouse
The real objection to the great majority of cats is their insufferable air of superiority.

P. G. Wodehouse
It was one of those cases where you approve the broad, general principle of an idea but can't help being in a bit of a twitter at the prospect of putting it into practical effect. I explained this to Jeeves, and he said much the same thing had bothered Hamlet.
