Quotes:

• You know how it is on quiet reflection in these affairs. For a time the broken heart, and then suddenly the healing conviction that one is jolly well out of it.

• you would be surprised at the number of knobs and protuberances which seem suddenly to sprout out of a car’s upholstery when you seek to convert it into a bed.

• It may be that a few well-chosen words would have served me better. But you know how it is about well-chosen words. When you need them most, you can’t find any.

• ‘There was a time, when I was younger, when I would have broken your neck,’ he said. 

I didn’t like the trend the conversation was taking. After all, a man is as young as he feels, and there was no knowing that he wouldn’t suddenly get one of these—what do you call them?—illusions of youth. I had an uncle once, aged seventy-six, who, under the influence of old crusted port, would climb trees.

• You go along for years looking on a fellow as a blister and a menace to the public weal, and then one day you suddenly hear of some decent thing he’s done and it makes you feel there must be good in the chap, after all.

• ‘Jeeves,’ I said, and if there were tears in the eyes, what of it? We Woosters are not afraid to confess honest emotion, ‘there is none like you, none.’
