P. G. Wodehouse
Whenever I have that sad, depressed feeling, I go out and kill a policeman.
P. G. Wodehouse
Few of them were to be trusted within reach of a trowel and a pile of bricks.
P. G. Wodehouse
Oh, I don't know, you know, don't you know?
P. G. Wodehouse
If men's minds were like dominoes, surely his would be the double blank.
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
I know I was writing stories when I was five. I don't know what I did before that. Just loafed I suppose.
P. G. Wodehouse
It was a nasty look. It made me feel as if I were something the dog had brought in and intended to bury later on, when he had time.
P. G. Wodehouse
I turned on the pillow with a little moan, and at this juncture Jeeves entered with the vital oolong. I clutched at it like a drowning man at a straw hat.
P. G. Wodehouse
