Isabella Bird Zitate

The kimono, haori, and girdle, and even the long hanging sleeves, have only parallel seams, and these are only tacked or basted, as the garments, when washed, are taken to pieces, and each piece, after being very slightly stiffened, is stretched upon a board to dry.

Der Kimono, der Haori und der Gürtel und sogar die langen, hängenden Ärmel haben nur parallele Nähte, und diese werden nur geheftet oder genäht, wenn die Kleidungsstücke beim Waschen auseinander genommen werden und jedes Stück, nachdem es etwas versteift wurde, wird zum Trocknen auf ein Brett gespannt.

Very often, if I know the orchestra doesn't know a piece or it's a new piece, I have main ideas about it. But then we start to play and I never talk about places where they played so beautiful and so clear in the beginning that there is nothing to say.

If each photograph steals a bit of the soul, isn't it possible that I give up pieces of mine every time I take a picture?

I am a Tony voter; it is an honor that I take seriously. Each season, I enter the process with a degree of enthusiasm and optimism, which dissipates as I slowly plow through show after show.

Some things are only capable of being done in space. Examples of that are looking at our Earth from that far away, and understanding the entire processes of storms and weather patterns, and oceans, and coastlines.

Children themselves know they are being cheated. Ultimately we owe it to our children. They are in school for 190 days a year. Every moment they spend learning is precious. If a year goes by and they are not being stretched and excited, that blights their life.
