Quotes by Geert Mak

“Jonge meisjes gingen er prat op pervers te zijn; als men vermoedde dat je op je zestiende nog maagd was, had dat in die tijd op elke school in Berlijn als belachelijk gegolden.”
― Geert Mak, In Europe: Travels Through the Twentieth Century

“Ik bezoek het veld waar de Royal New Foundland Regiment vrijwel compleet werd neergemaaid bij een onzinnige aanval, een geval van collectieve zelfmoord waarvan moslimfundamentalisten nog iets zouden kunnen leren.”
