"People will kill you over time, and how they'll kill you is with tiny, harmless phrases, like 'be realistic.'"
"Money can't buy you love, but it can get you some really good chocolate ginger biscuits."
"You're talking to a modern, nice, affable German person and they're saying to you something like 'You know, vell, it's a critical time now for Germany within Europe, also globally, economically ve are pretty good, ve have been better.
