Alison Gopnik Zitate

For better or worse, we live in possible worlds as much as actual ones. We are cursed by that characteristically human guilt and regret about what might have been in the past. But that may be the cost for our ability to hope and plan for what might be in the future.

Zum Guten oder Schlechten leben wir in möglichen Welten ebenso wie in tatsächlichen. Wir sind verflucht von dieser charakteristischen menschlichen Schuld und Bedauern darüber, was in der Vergangenheit gewesen sein könnte. Dies könnte jedoch die Kosten für unsere Fähigkeit sein, auf das zu hoffen, was in der Zukunft liegen könnte.

In the past, when I'd recorded during a break in a tour, it was so easy to sing, because I felt strong. Also, like so many new mothers, I wasn't getting a lot of sleep, and sleeping is such a huge part of being able to sing.

I am always amazed at how many guys in the NBA have never met an owner much less ever been to an owner's house. We bought the team so that we would be able to be a positive force, so that they in turn would be a positive force to young people everywhere.
