Jacob Riis Zitate

Look at a stone cutter hammering away at his rock, perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred-and-first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not the last blow that did it, but all that had gone before.

Sehen Sie sich einen Steinmeißel an, der an seinem Felsen hämmert, vielleicht hundertmal, ohne dass ein Riss darin zu sehen ist. Beim einundneunzigsten Schlag wird es sich jedoch in zwei Teile teilen, und ich weiß, dass es nicht der letzte Schlag war, der es getan hat, sondern alles, was vorher gegangen war.

I think by that time I knew where Chewie was going, and he left me to do what was called for, because the character had been well established. You know, it was like putting on a second skin by that time.

The history of the past, a hundred years from now, won't be the history of the past that we learned in school because much more will have been revealed, and adjectives we can't even imagine will have been brought to bear on what we did learn in school.
