• Jonathan Coe's genial, likeable novel can only be described as a kind of lit-prog-rock concept album... Coe recreates the period with such loving accuracy that I frankly suspect him of having planted a secret microphone in the tin Oxford Mathematical Instruments box I carried around in my school days... As always with Jonathan Coe, the sheer intelligent good nature that suffuses his work makes it a pleasure to read.

• Nuestra buena naturaleza y nuestras cualidades entrañables no suscitarán las respuestas a nuestras oraciones. Más bien son nuestros atributos traviesos y deshonestos los que proporcionan las llaves maestras del cielo. Cuando identificamos y trabajamos para transformar nuestras cualidades egocéntricas y características torcidas, la llave gira y las puertas se abren. Las bendiciones y la buena fortuna son ahora libres de llover sobre nosotros.

  Yehuda Berg

  Whilst gay good-nature sparkles in her eyes;
  An inoffensive scandal fluttering round,
  Too rough to tickle, and too light to wound.

• The sure way of judging whether our first thoughts are judicious, is to sleep on them. If they appear of the same force the next morning as they did over night, and if good nature ratifies what good sense approves, we may be pretty sure we are in the right.

• Envy is an ill-natured vice, and is made up of meanness and malice. It wishes the force of goodness to be strained, and the measure of happiness abated. It laments over prosperity, and sickens at the sight of health. It oftentimes wants spirit as well as good nature.

  Jeremy Collier

  Sight, Envy, Wish

• Mother, when your children are irritable, do not make them more so by scolding and fault-finding, but correct their irritability by good nature and mirthfulness. Irritability comes from errors in food, bad air, too little sleep, a necessity for change of scene and surroundings; from confinement in close rooms, and lack of sunshine.

  Herbert Spencer

• No hay nada más raro que la verdadera buena naturaleza; los que tienen fama de poseerla son, por lo general, sólo dóciles o débiles.

• Esta superficial bondad que cautiva a un nuevo conocido y no es óbice para la traición, que no conoce el escrúpulo y nunca es culpable de una excusa, que protesta a gritos ante la herida que condona, es uno de los rasgos más distintivos del periodista. Esta camaradería (la palabra es un golpe de genio) corroe las mentes más nobles; corroe su orgullo como el óxido, mata el germen de las grandes hazañas y presta una sanción a la cobardía moral.

  Honore de Balzac

• La buena naturaleza es, de todas las cualidades morales, la que más necesita el mundo, y la buena naturaleza es el resultado de la facilidad y la seguridad, no de una vida de ardua lucha. Los métodos modernos de producción nos han dado la posibilidad de facilidad y seguridad para todos; hemos elegido, en cambio, el exceso de trabajo para algunos y el hambre para los demás. Hasta ahora hemos seguido siendo tan enérgicos como antes de que existieran las máquinas; en esto hemos sido tontos, pero no hay razón para seguir siéndolo eternamente.

• Lo he escrito antes y no me avergüenzo de escribirlo de nuevo. Sin Wodehouse no estoy seguro de ser ni la décima parte de lo que soy hoy, sea lo que sea. En mi adolescencia, sus escritos me despertaron a las posibilidades del lenguaje. Sus ritmos, tropos, trucos y manierismos están muy dentro de mí. Pero más que eso, me enseñó algo sobre la buena naturaleza. Basta con ser benigno, con ser amable, con ser divertido, con ser bondadoso.
