Kindle Notes & Highlights
This handbook is her Bible. She’s such a stickler for the rules and scary with it. It’s like she’s got, you know…” “Autism? OCD?” “I was going to say a broom up her arse, but okay.”
“I tread lightly on this world. I have no intention of leaving behind a massive carbon footprint and some diluted genetic copies of myself.”
“Yes, it is the end of the world. Yes, we are all going to die. But we are British. These things still need doing in an orderly manner and there is certainly no excuse to get all emotional about it.”
I mean, I like penguins but I wouldn’t have said they’re more important than kids… Well, I would, but that’s a personal thing.”
‘There are two kinds of people: those who can infer from incomplete data’.
