“One does silly things when one is twelve.”

“One is always willfully absurd.... If one does not say silly things with a purpose, then he is merely an idiot.”

“What a silly thing love is! It is not half as useful as logic, for it does not prove anything and it is always telling one things that are not going to happen, and making one believe things that are not true.”

“One thing was certain: he was my one. Most people go on their whole lives and never find their one, but I found mine. I found him when I was twelve-years-old.”

“He was just one of those Englishmen who was always saying silly things to sound less pompous, and pompous things to sound less silly.”

“Do they listen?"He held up a finger. "Every year one does," he said, ginning, "But that one makes it worthwhile. Even Jesus only did twelve. I try to get one a year.”
