    P.G. Wodehouse

But, at thirty, having become an uncomfortable mixture of future and past, it is a thing to be looked at only when the sun is high and the world full of warmth and optimism.”
    P. G. Wodehouse

    “Somewhere I’d heard, or invented perhaps, that the only pleasures found during a waning moon are misfortunes in disguise.

I profit from great harvests in life and believe in the importance of seasons.”
    Roman Payne, Rooftop Soliloquy
