John Updike Zitate

There is a great deal of busywork to a writer's life, as to a professor's life, a great deal of work that matters only in that, if you don't do it, your desk becomes very full of papers. So, there is a lot of letter answering and a certain amount of speaking, though I try to keep that at a minimum.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Es gibt viel Arbeit im Leben eines Schriftstellers, im Hinblick auf das Leben eines Professors, eine Menge Arbeit, die nur insofern von Bedeutung ist, wenn Sie es nicht tun, wird Ihr Schreibtisch sehr voll mit Papieren. Es gibt also viele Briefe, die antworten und eine gewisse Menge sprechen, obwohl ich versuche, das auf ein Minimum zu beschränken.

I had friends but I was spending a great deal of my time alone and for me that was vital because there's an awful lot you learn about yourself when you're alone.

Building out a professional profile on LinkedIn certainly makes sense, and bolstering that CV with intelligent pieces of writing is also a great idea. But if you're going to take the time to create content, you should also take the time to create a home for that content that is yours and yours alone.

Once you become a professional, to get through a ballet like 'Swan Lake' - four acts as the lead, changing character - the perseverance is incredible. It takes a lot to make it through and keep the same energy throughout the entire performance.

I went through life like an idiot for a great deal of the time, saying there's nothing I would change. That was a very arrogant thing to say. There's a lot I would change. There are people I would have steered clear of.
