When a collage image was particularly handsome he would hold it and cry “Oh wie gerissen!” (Oh how beautifully torn). But if something struck him as ugly he would shake his head: “I’d rather not meet this one at midnight!” When one of us did something really good he called out “Here! Look! A knight without fear and blemish.”
