John Burroughs Zitate

The art of the bird is to conceal its nest both as to position and as to material, but now and then it is betrayed into weaving into its structure showy and bizarre bits of this or that, which give its secret away and which seem to violate all the traditions of its kind.

Die Kunst des Vogels besteht darin, sein Nest sowohl in Bezug auf Position als auch auf Material zu verbergen, aber ab und zu wird er dazu verleitet, auffällige und bizarre Teile dieses oder jenes in seine Struktur zu weben, die ihr Geheimnis verraten und die zu verletzen scheinen alle Traditionen dieser Art.

The trick to making a story matter is that every now and then, somebody you care about has to go. If it's somebody that you don't care about, then it doesn't really have - the stakes aren't there. But if you do that every now and then, then the story matters to people. And there are actual stakes involved, emotional stakes.
