Dani Shapiro Zitate

Confidence is highly overrated when it comes to creating literature. A writer who is overly confident will not engage in the struggle to get it exactly right on the page - but rather, will assume that she's getting it right without the struggle.

Dani Shapiro

Deutsche Übersetzung

Vertrauen wird bei der Erstellung von Literatur stark überschätzt. Eine übermäßig zuversichtliche Schriftstellerin wird sich nicht darum bemühen, sie auf der Seite genau richtig zu machen - sondern geht vielmehr davon aus, dass sie es ohne den Kampf richtig macht.

Tahar Ben Jelloun

The fact is that since you're a divine creation who originated in the world of Spirit, you have exactly the right amount of smarts to accomplish all that you need and want to do while you're here on earth. It's all perfect... and so are you!

Why would they have gone to the trouble to hire the best comedy writers in the business to write funny material for us to play straight, if the children in our audience were the only audience.

Englisches Zitat von Tobias Lindholm als Bild

I don't want to write lines where characters tell me exactly how they feel; I want to see people talk about anything but their feelings, like they do in real life.

Englisches Zitat von Hideki Tojo als Bild

We now have to see our country surrender to the enemy without demonstrating our power up to 120 percent. We are now on a course for a humiliating peace - or, rather, a humiliating surrender.

Hideki Tojo

I don't know that I can give a definitive answer to that, I can only say that if we create the right climate those who are producing those products will have the opportunity to move into a higher value product if changes are needed if we get this right.

John Anderson
