Hannah Kent Zitate

I had expected that at some point during the first draft a light would go on, and I would understand, finally, how to write a book. This never happened. The process was akin to blindly walking in the dark, feeling my way only by touch, and only recognising dead ends when I smacked into them.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Ich hatte erwartet, dass irgendwann während des ersten Entwurfs ein Licht aufleuchten würde, und ich würde endlich verstehen, wie man ein Buch schreibt. Das ist nie passiert. Der Prozess war so, als würde er blind durch die Dunkelheit laufen, meinen Weg nur durch Berührung fühlen und Sackgassen erkennen, als ich in sie hineinschlug.

I don't seem to have ever had a plan, but I have always been quite good at walking through doors when they are opened. I am never any good at anticipating what will happen next, but I always go for it when it does.

For policemen to be honest about the fact that they may be fearful when they come into a certain situation, not understanding what's going to happen. The only way things will change and things will get better is if people are able to be honest without feeling like they're going to be offended, or they're going to offend someone else.

There's always a sense of tragedy with icons. It happened to both the Princess of Wales and Diana Dors. A lot of people had grown up with them, and everybody loved them. Then, when they had at last found happiness, they were taken in the most dreadful way.

Understanding that being nervous, having doubts and lacking confidence are emotions that are human is how you deal with it. It is okay to feel that way... and then understanding that you can work through it.
