Gore Vidal Zitate

→

Americans are future-minded to the point of obsession. We are impatient at living in the present. Tomorrow is bound to be better... next year, next century, always what might be rather than what is. This trait in us makes for 'progress;' it also makes for a continuing dissatisfaction.

Gore Vidal

Deutsche Übersetzung

Amerikaner sind zukunftsorientiert bis zur Besessenheit. Wir sind ungeduldig in der Gegenwart zu leben. Morgen wird es bestimmt besser sein ... nächstes Jahr, nächstes Jahrhundert, immer was eher ist als das, was ist. Diese Eigenschaft in uns macht 'Fortschritt'; es sorgt auch für eine anhaltende Unzufriedenheit.

The scene then as now was centered in New York. For the most part, I've kept a bit apart from that attractive and seductive city. I've done it by living in the country within commuting distance.

The language that we use now impacts on the ability to vote, it impacts on the marketplace; instead of making things clear, it makes it more confusing. I think we need to stop using neutral language and speak in straighter terms. So when you agree to something, you actually get what you agreed to in the first place.
