Ich sehe nicht, wie Englisch, wie wir es in Europa verwenden, wiederbelebt werden kann. Es ist, als hätte Latein um 300 n.Chr. Müde und aufgebraucht sein müssen. Alles, was man tun kann, ist, stilistisch sehr hart zu drücken, um es zum Leuchten zu bringen.

The first Halloween was very well made. The second one was also well made, though I didn't like it as well as the first one. The third one had nothing to do with the series at all and perhaps shouldn't have been made at all.

We must believe what is good and true about the prophets, that they were sages, that they did understand what proceeded from their mouths, and that they bore prudence on their lips.

Origen

It is hard enough to make a plan for how you are going to spend an evening with somebody else. So to make a plan for how you are going to behave in 25 years seems based on a view of life that is incomprehensible to me.

Wallace Shawn

In many professions, what used to matter most were abilities associated with the left side of the brain: linear, sequential, spreadsheet kind of faculties. Those still matter, but they're not enough.

I don't think there is anything hard at all about having a lot of songs. It makes it easier to be less precious about them, and know that everybody's going to want to work on some of them.
