E. L. Doctorow Zitate

Deutsche Übersetzung

Meine Theorie, warum Hemingway sich selbst umbrachte, ist, dass er seine eigene Stimme gehört hat. dass er den Punkt erreichte, an dem er nicht schreiben konnte, ohne das Gefühl zu haben, dass er sich wiederholte. Das ist das Schlimmste, was einem Schriftsteller passieren kann.

I like to allow a story to arise as I'm writing scripts. I find it horrible when I try to think of something for the plot without really being on the ground and seeing where it goes.

Whit Stillman

The worst thing that happens to you at college if you fail to get out of bed in time is that you will miss two hours of someone reading scintillating anecdotes about Medieval Ireland.
