Gabrielle Zevin Zitate

I'm in the middle of a 25-city book tour, and I like watching what people buy in bookstores. I see people buy books that I strongly suspect they will never read, and as an author, I must tell you, I don't mind this one bit. We buy books aspirationally.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Ich bin mitten in einer Büchertour mit 25 Städten und beobachte gerne, was die Leute in Buchhandlungen kaufen. Ich sehe, wie Leute Bücher kaufen, von denen ich sehr stark vermute, dass sie sie niemals lesen werden, und als Autor muss ich Ihnen sagen, dass mir das ein bisschen nichts ausmacht. Wir kaufen Bücher aufstrebend.

Englisches Zitat von Eileen Myles als Bild

Having big audiences when you're on a book tour is like Valhalla if you're a person who used to sell Girl Scout cookies on the side. Because you want to give the reading that will sell the most books.

Englisches Zitat von Barry Eisler als Bild

I can understand the allure of a venerable Big Six imprint, of a shot at the New York Times list, of a publisher-sponsored book tour, of seeing your hardbacks in bookstores and your paperbacks in supermarkets.

Englisches Zitat von Stanley Kubrick als Bild

I read. I order books from the States. I literally go into bookstores, close my eyes, and take things off the shelf. If I don't like the book after a bit, I don't finish it. But I like to be surprised.

Englisches Zitat von Dolly Parton als Bild

I never thought, in my lifetime, that you'd be able to watch movies, read books and listen to music from a phone, but I guess the technology of tomorrow is here today.

Dolly Parton

What has always surprised me when I walk into a bookstore is the number of books that you can find that are written with certainty. The authors tell some story as though it's true, but they don't have any evidence that it is true!

Englisches Zitat von Neil deGrasse Tyson als Bild

The center line of science literacy - which not many people tell you, but I feel this strongly, and I will go to my grave making this point - is how you think.

Englisches Zitat von Eva Longoria als Bild

I wish I could wear 10 dresses to my wedding. It's so sad that you put it in storage and then never see it again. I am going to sleep in mine after I wear it.

Eva Longoria

I figured the people who liked the sort of thing I was doing would come see it. If it was only 200 then that was alright and if it was 2000 then that is alright as well. I wasn't really interested in the big numbers; I was just interested in some numbers.

George Thorogood

I hear all the time that boys don't like stories about girls. Which never made much sense to me. Wasn't 'Terminator' about a girl? And 'Alien'? Hell, I grew up on 'The Wizard of Oz.' People enjoy stories about anything if they're good stories.
