“What's it like?""Death? It's like being on holiday with a group of Germans.”
“I'm telling you, I wanted to. But I was trapped. You of all people should know what it's like being caught between groups”
“Ask a kid who's struggling in math if he likes being in a mixed-level class, and he'll tell you he feels like a moron. Ask the math genius if he likes being in a mixed-level class, and he'll tell you he's sick of doing all the work during group projects. Sometimes, it's better to sort like with like.”
“I like Holiday Inns”
“She drove like one of the damned on holiday.”
“I told Ing once that she dances like a German and she didn't like it, but it's true: she dances seriously, like lives are hanging in the balance, like precision dancing can save the starving children of India. ”
