We interrupt Williamson Week to remind you that today, 15 October, is the birthday of the great P. G. Wodehouse. If I were really clever I’d write something like “Principal-Agent Conflicts between Wooster and Jeeves” or “Lord Emsworth as Charismatic Leader,” but the best I can do is share some favorite Wodehouse quotes that might apply to writing, research, and university life:
“I pressed down the mental accelerator. The old lemon throbbed fiercely. I got an idea.”
“He had just about enough intelligence to open his mouth when he wanted to eat, but certainly no more.” [A university administrator? Journal reviewer?]
“I just sit at a typewriter and curse a bit.”
“I know I was writing stories when I was five. I don’t know what I did before that. Just loafed I suppose.”
