I believe there are two ways of writing novels. One is mine, making a sort of musical comedy without music and ignoring real life altogether; the other is going right deep down into life and not caring a damn. - P. G. Wodehouse #writingquotes #writingadvice #writinginspiration
@PGWodehouseUK The latter is from 'Company for Henry', I thought. Did he reuse the line?
“I wonder if you have noticed a rather rummy thing about it -- viz. that it is everywhere. You can't get away from it. Love, I mean. Wherever you go, there it is, buzzing along in every class of life. Quite remarkable.”

@PGWodehouseUK 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.
@PGWodehouseUK If she is looking for a passage to do with love, I think Ashe's declaration to Joan at the end of Something Fresh (which for my money beats anything in Jane Austen), might be something to consider. And if I might, congratulations to the couple! I wish you many happy years!
