Christina Baker Kline Zitate

Das Überraschendste ist, dass so wenige Amerikaner von den Waisenzügen wissen. Ich war auch überrascht, wie widerstandsfähig und mutig die Fahrer waren, die ich traf, ihren Pragmatismus und ihre Anmut. Ich weiß nicht, ob es sich dabei um eine Eigenschaft des Mittleren Westens oder nur um einen Menschen handelt.

And to that I say, I'd like you to show me an example of, you know, this so-called apolitical art. I don't think there's any such thing.

Most of us know nothing about constitutional law, so it's hardly surprising that we take sides in the Obamacare debate the way we root for the Red Sox or the Yankees. Loyalty to the team is what matters.
