"In times of stress Jack Aubrey had two main reactions: he either became aggressive or he became amorous; he longed either for the violent catharsis of action or for that of making love. He loved a battle: he loved a wench." Pg. 237 (Personally, I prefer to take the word wench loosely. :D)

"'You do not need a head, nor even a heart, to be all a female can require.'" -Maturin pg. 259

"'So it is,' said Jack, his good nature and pleasure in life flooding back at the sight of Stephen's delight." Pg. 268

"'There are times,' said James quietly, 'when I understand you partiality for your friend. He derives a greater pleasure from a smaller stream of wit than any man I have ever known.'" Lt. James Dillon, pg. 289 (Stephen has a line about seeing a bearded vulture, a young bearded vulture and Jack cracks a joke about the vulture must not have shaved that day. Therein the reference to Jack's sense of humor. :D)

"'...And Mrs. Harte is going to play the harp. Come and sit by me.'"
"'Well, I suppose I shall have to,' said Stephen, 'the room being so crowded. Yet I had hoped to enjoy this concert: it is the last we shall hear for some time.'"
"'Nonsense,' said Jack, taking no notice." Pg. 340 (Hee, oh, Jack.)

Jack convinces Stephen to leave his lookout post up on a hill "Very well,' said Stephen, after a moment's thought. 'I can leave a note. And we will fill our pockets with ham: then we shall have none of your wry looks and short answers.'" Pg. 390 (Ah, true love over ham. ;))
