Isabella Bird Zitate

One of the most painful things in the Western States and Territories is the extinction of childhood. I have never seen any children - only debased imitations of men and women, cankered by greed and selfishness, and asserting and gaining complete independence of their parents at ten years old.

Isabella Bird

Deutsche Übersetzung

Eines der schmerzhaftesten Dinge in den westlichen Staaten und Territorien ist das Aussterben der Kindheit. Ich habe noch nie Kinder gesehen - nur Nachahmungen von Männern und Frauen, die von Gier und Selbstsucht geplagt und mit zehn Jahren die völlige Unabhängigkeit ihrer Eltern behauptet und erlangt haben.

If you were to ask any children of any politician, when you've been part of a political life, you are not on the sidelines. There is no such thing as a member of a political family who is only a spectator. You see the wheeling and the dealing. That doesn't intimidate me. I'll do a little of that myself, on behalf of my constituents.

For the last decade, I've worked as a federal judge in a court that spans six Western states, serving about 20 percent of the continental United States and about 18 million people. The men and women I've worked with at every level in our circuit are an inspiration to me.

It is frightening that in recent years such an increase has occurred in acts of terrorism, which have even reached peaceful countries such as ours. And as a 'remedy', more and more security forces are established to protect the lives of individual men and women.
