Willard Wigan Zitate – Sprüche auf Englisch mit Übersetzung

Zitat des Tages von Willard Wigan:

I started making houses for ants because I thought they needed somewhere to live. Then I made them shoes and hats. It was a fantasy world I escaped to where my dyslexia didn't hold me back and my teachers couldn't criticize me. That's how my career as a micro-sculptor began.

I heard someone say that it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man to get into heaven. I decided to sculpt camels in a needle.

I always say that failure was my friend. I learned nothing at school, so I just lived in my own world.

People find it very, very difficult to believe what I've done. Scientists have seen my work and they can't explain it. Even nano-scientists have seen it and been totally shocked. But if any man on Earth wants to challenge me, I'm ready. Bring it on.

At home, when the heating pipes made noises, I imagined a tiny person was in there skipping with a rope. The fantasy world of tiny things became my escape.

There is a child in all of us.

I was told I would become nothing. Now I am showing people how big nothing is.

Willard Wigan

I became obsessed with making more and more tiny things. I think I was trying to find a way of compensating for my embarrassment at having learning difficulties: people had made me feel small so I wanted to show them how significant 'small' could be.

Willard Wigan

Those that don't believe how small my work is should just come along and see it for themselves.

Willard Wigan

As a kid, I lived in a fantasy world. I used to believe ants could talk. Not once did they say thank you.

Willard Wigan

When you work at a microscopic level, you have to control every part of your body movement - your fingertips, your joints, the pulse in your fingers.

Willard Wigan

When I was a kid, I had trouble at school because of my learning disabilities. Carving is my body compensating for the lack of other skills.

Willard Wigan

I'm like a mad professor, but without the spiky hair.
