Carl Honore Zitate

My first book, 'In Praise of Slowness,' examines how the world got stuck in fast-forward and chronicles a global trend towards putting on the brakes. That trend is called the Slow movement. 'Slow' in this context does not mean doing everything at a snail's pace. It means doing everything at the right speed.

Deutsche Übersetzung

In meinem ersten Buch "In Praise of Slowness" wird untersucht, wie die Welt im Vorlauf steckte, und es wird ein globaler Trend zum Bremsen dargestellt. Dieser Trend wird als langsame Bewegung bezeichnet. Langsam bedeutet in diesem Zusammenhang nicht, alles im Schneckentempo zu machen. Es bedeutet, alles im richtigen Tempo zu machen.

I would like to see us get this place right first before we have the arrogance to put significantly flawed civilizations out onto other planets, even though they may be utterly uninhabited.

I was a pretty scrappy, tough kid; I got in all sorts of fights at school. I defended myself - boys didn't mess with me. But as one of seven children, you have to fight for everything anyway.

It took me 45 minutes to get in all of the suits and putting all the dosimeters on me so that they knew how much radiation I got and the protective boots and everything.

On recovering my senses, I hastened to quit a place where I hoped there was nothing further to detain me. I first filled my pockets with gold, then fastened the strings of the purse round my neck, and concealed it in my bosom.

I mean, what would I be doing if I couldn't write? But that fortunately hasn't proved to be the case and I can read any day. I still read a lot, and I can write any day, but much more slowly and fewer words.
