Alice McDermott Zitate

Deutsche Übersetzung

Ich muss den Rhythmus der Sätze hören; Ich möchte die Musik der Prosa. Ich möchte gewöhnliche Dinge sehen, die nicht durch die Umstände verändert werden, unter denen ich sie sehe, sondern durch die Sprache, mit der sie beschrieben werden. Das liebe ich, wenn ich lese.

It's rare to find an Indian who speaks Chinese. It's rare to find a Chinese who can speak any of the Indian languages. Neither of them at the trading level - I want to repeat this, at the trading level - can speak English, either.
