Isabella Bird Zitate

In Japan, the people preserve their temples for their exquisite beauty, and there are a great many sincere Buddhists; but China is irreligious: a nation of atheists or agnostics, or slaves of impious superstitions. In an extended tramp among temples, I have not seen a single male worshiper or a thing to please the eye.

In Japan bewahren die Menschen ihre Tempel für ihre exquisite Schönheit, und es gibt sehr viele aufrichtige Buddhisten. aber China ist irreligiös: eine Nation von Atheisten oder Agnostikern oder Sklaven von gnadenlosem Aberglauben. In einem ausgedehnten Trampel zwischen den Tempeln habe ich keinen einzigen männlichen Anbeter oder etwas gesehen, das das Auge erfreut.

It is easy to see what many people, women especially, admire about Sarah Palin. Here is a mother of five who can see the bright side of having a child with Down syndrome and still find the time and energy to govern the state of Alaska.

Originally, technology was pretty clearly on the side of introversion. It allowed introverts to connect with people, to express their ideas in a less stimulating way: you're sitting alone behind a computer. But I'm starting to think that the pressure to self-present constantly online is becoming so extreme.

I'm not trying to prove anything. People look at me, and they take things away from me because of a movie. They don't really see the skills and the kind of player I am. That's why I get downgraded so much, because of something off the field.

A person may rightfully be happy if in this life he could do a great favor for widows and orphans, could assist support than, and facilitate fate of people.
