Geraldine Brooks Zitate

'You've got mail!' exclaims the cheery automaton at America Online. The flag on the mailbox icon waves invitingly on my computer screen. For a second, I'm 10 years old again, waiting for the postman's whistle to slice the stillness of an Australian afternoon.

Deutsche Übersetzung

'Sie haben Post!' ruft der fröhliche Automat bei America Online aus. Die Flagge auf dem Mailbox-Symbol wird auf meinem Computerbildschirm angezeigt. Für eine Sekunde bin ich wieder 10 Jahre alt und warte darauf, dass der Postbote die Stille eines australischen Nachmittags schneidet.

Englisches Zitat von Danica Patrick als Bild

I was very against pink and purple when I was young, because they were girls' colors. But that was only because I didn't want people to write me off for what I can do. When I got into my 20s, I decided that was stupid.

I finally became a scuba diver at age 15 or so, and a couple of years after that, I attended a dive show that is held every year in Boston. It's the oldest one in the world and it's still going on - it's called the Sea Rovers.
