15 October: PG Wodehouse Quotes

Born on this date in 1881 was P. G. (Pelham Grenville) Wodehouse, author of the Jeeves stories. 10 quotes from him:

1. There is only one cure for grey hair. It was invented by a Frenchman. It is called the guillotine.
2. Unseen in the background, Fate was quietly slipping lead into the boxing-glove.
3. The fascination of shooting as a sport depends almost wholly on whether you are at the right or wrong end of the gun.
4. I always advise people never to give advice.
5. I always strive, when I can, to spread sweetness and light. There have been several complaints about it.
6. She looked as if she had been poured into her clothes and had forgotten to say 'when.'
7. He had just about enough intelligence to open his mouth when he wanted to eat, but certainly no more.
8. Well, why do you want a political career? Have you ever been in the House of Commons and taken a good square look at the inmates? As weird a gaggle of freaks and sub-humans as was ever collected in one spot.
9. It's a funny thing about looking for things. If you hunt for a needle in a haystack you don't find it. If you don't give a darn whether you ever see the needle or not it runs into you the first time you lean against the stack.
10. If men's minds were like dominoes, surely his would be the double blank.

Killing Me Softly

Sebastian Garrett is an assassin. It wasn’t his first choice of vocation, but nonetheless, he’s good at it, and can be relied upon to get the job done. He’s on top of his game.

Until he is contracted to kill Princess Helena of Galorvia. She is not just any princess. Sebastian doesn’t bargain on his intended victim being a super-heroine who gives as good as she gets. Only his own genetic variant power saves him from becoming the victim, instead of Helena. 

Fate has another surprise in store. Sebastian was not expecting to fall in love with her.
