A. N. Wilson Zitate

It would no doubt be very sentimental to argue - but I would argue it nevertheless - that the peculiar combination of joy and sadness in bell music - both of clock chimes, and of change-ringing - is very typical of England. It is of a piece with the irony in which English people habitually address one another.

Es wäre zweifellos sehr sentimental zu argumentieren - aber ich würde trotzdem behaupten -, dass die eigentümliche Kombination von Freude und Trauer in der Glockenmusik - sowohl von Glockenspielen als auch von Wechseln - typisch für England ist. Es ist ein Stück mit der Ironie, in der sich die Engländer gewöhnlich ansprechen.

It's funny because if you ever ask anyone in England to try and do a Beatles accent, no one knows what they really sound like. If you ask anyone in America, they would try and give it a go. English people just know their songs.

Dead people never seem to address the obvious - the things you'd think they'd be bursting to talk about, and the things all of us not-yet-dead are madly curious about. Such as: 'Hey, where are you now? What do you do all day? What's it feel like being dead? Can you see me? Even when I'm on the toilet? Would you cut that out?'

Men need to be aware of the health of their bodies, as well - prostate cancer and breast cancer are almost on the same level. It's fascinating to me that the correlation between the two is almost the same - people don't talk about it so much, but they are almost equal in numbers.

I think you could ask 10 English people the same question about class and get a very different answer.
