David Nicholls Zitate

For the best part of my childhood I visited the local library three or four times a week, hunching in the stacks on a foam rubber stool and devouring children's fiction, classics, salacious thrillers, horror and sci-fi, books about cinema and origami and natural history, to the point where my parents encouraged me to read a little less.

Für den besten Teil meiner Kindheit besuchte ich drei oder vier Mal in der Woche die örtliche Bibliothek, hockte auf einem Schaumstoffhocker in den Stapeln und verschlang Kindergeschichten, Klassiker, krasse Thriller, Horror und Sci-Fi, Bücher über Kino und Origami und Naturgeschichte, bis zu dem Punkt, an dem meine Eltern mich ermutigten, etwas weniger zu lesen.

I think the best way to find out about something is to try to do it to the max. A lot of people take up a hobby or sport and then find an excuse not to carry on with it. Once I start something, I won't stop until I'm as good at it as I'll ever be.

I think I'm bad luck for Tiger because he missed the cut in Charlotte with me. But yeah, those are two of the best players of all time. Tiger's the best player of all time in my opinion, so when he's not in the field, it's a relief because he's such a great player.

If the truth be told, we are a society that is dripping in racism. This is not in the least surprising. For the best part of two centuries, we British ruled the waves, controlled two-fifths of the planet, and believed it was our responsibility to bring civilisation to those who allegedly lacked it.

If I am to choose two words that best describes myself, they are 'self-esteem' and 'guts.' Guts helped me become a global model.

My fellow Americans, from the battlefield to the capitals of our allies and friends and partners, the free peoples of the world look to America as the last best hope for peace and for liberty for all humankind, for we are the greatest country on this planet.

Television is what it's always been. The best of times and the worst of times at the same time.

When you're a woman in your 40s, it's not the best time to do films, because there really aren't that many roles. Then you reach 50 and there are more roles again. Mother parts.

Make each product the best it can be. Focus on form and materials. What we don't include is as important as what we do include.
