“Then, in an unusual moment, she grew emotional, which left little doubt about the level of profound respect and admiration Merkel had for her American colleague:
‘So eight years are coming to a close. This is the last visit of (President) Barack Obama to our country…I am very glad that he chose Germany as one of the stopovers on this trip…Thank you for the reliable friendship and partnership you demonstrated in very difficult hours of our relationship. So let me again pay tribute to what we’ve been able to achieve, to what we discussed, to what we were able to bring about in difficult hours.”

“Cum adică, băiete! continuă şmecherul, ai două muieri, una mai mişto ca alta, trăieşti gol în mijlocul naturii c-o întreagă bandă de nudişti simpatici, haleşti, bei, vânezi; ai marea, soarele, nisipul cald, până şi perlele le capeţi pe damoaca, şi nu găseşti ceva mai bun de făcut decât să laşi baltă toate astea ca s-o iei din loc? Încotro? Zi! Ca să treci strada în fugă, să nu te calce maşinile, ca să fii nevoit să-ţi plăteşti chiria, croitorul, lumina şi telefonul, iar dacă ţi s-a făcut de-o maşină mică, să faci spargere, sau să munceşti ca un dobitoc pentru vreun patron, câştigând cât să nu mori de foame? Nu te-nţeleg, omule! Erai în cer şi te-ntorci de bunăvoie în iad, unde, pe lângă grijile vieţii, mai trebuie să te fereşti de toţi gaborii din lume care te vânează!”

“If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.”
