Taittinger Quotes

“He took the Captain as he was, and was fond of him, with his cheery heartlessness, his incapacity to think beyond a couple of thoughts, for which his skull was far too roomy, his insignificant love affairs and childish infatuations, and the pointless and unconnected remarks that came out of his mouth, seemingly at random. He was a mediocre officer, who didn't care about his comrades, his men, his career.”
― Joseph Roth, The Tale of the 1002nd Night

“Taittinger pondered, but he was well aware that no amount of pondering had yet helped him to a sensible conclusion.”
― Joseph Roth, The Tale of the 1002nd Night
