Amity Shlaes Zitate

Deutsche Übersetzung

Ich denke, einige Autoren leiden unter dem Bedürfnis, zu beweisen, dass sie klug und gebildet sind. Ich versuche nicht darunter zu leiden. Ich möchte lieber meine eigene Erzählung opfern, wenn ich eine Biografie schreibe. Ich mache mir also keine Sorgen, ob ich schlau bin.

I'm quite glad I never learned to play the guitar, because I think I'd write songs that were more classically structured. As it is, I've had to create my own way of writing, which isn't typical. Everything's a big crescendo.

I hate it when people don't recognize the work of women as being universal, or having any import to the world at large, as opposed to men's work, which is generally tends to be seen as more universal - men's writing about their own experience tends to be put in a broader context.
