Science Quotes by P. G. Wodehouse (2 quotes)
It was my Uncle George who discovered that alcohol was a food well in advance of modern medical thought.

'The Delayed Exit of Claude and Eustace', The Inimitable Jeeves (2011), 193.
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.
— P. G. Wodehouse
In 'Extricating Young Gussie', Saturday Evening Post (18 Sep 1915), 10.
In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion.
(1987) --
