• "One always abandons something in retreat. Look at Napoleon at the Beresina! He abandoned his whole army." (VII)

• "There is only one way to make money at writing, and that is to marry a publisher's daughter." (IV)

• "The most bitter insult one can offer to a Londoner is "bastard"- which taken for what it means, is hardly an insult at all." (XXXII)
