P. G. Wodehouse
I started violently, as if some unseen hand had goosed me.
P. G. Wodehouse
Whenever I have that sad, depressed feeling, I go out and kill a policeman.
P. G. Wodehouse
It is not the being paid money in advance that jars the sensitive artist: it is the having to work.
P. G. Wodehouse
He groaned slightly and winced like Prometheus watching his vulture dropping in for lunch.
P. G. Wodehouse
It's not that I don't trust you, Dunstable, it's simply that I don't trust you.
P. G. Wodehouse
