Kurt Vonnegut Zitate

One of the things that I tell beginning writers is this: If you describe a landscape, or a cityscape, or a seascape, always be sure to put a human figure somewhere in the scene. Why? Because readers are human beings, mostly interested in human beings. People are humanists. Most of them are humanists, that is.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Eines der Dinge, die ich Anfängern erzähle, ist folgende: Wenn Sie eine Landschaft, ein Stadtbild oder eine Meereslandschaft beschreiben, stellen Sie immer sicher, dass Sie eine menschliche Figur irgendwo in der Szene platzieren. Warum? Weil Leser Menschen sind, die sich hauptsächlich für Menschen interessieren. Menschen sind Humanisten. Die meisten von ihnen sind Humanisten.

I'm blessed with three children who actually aren't terribly impressed with pandering to my ego, and one of my children has a bit of a problem with the sex scenes because when she reads the stuff, she hears my voice in her head, and apparently reading a sex scene written by your mother with her describing it is rather off-putting!

One of the things I've learned from 'Borgen' is that it's very easy to criticise people; 'I hate this politician, I hate what they do.' You are doing this right now with Margaret Thatcher, but sometimes it's hard to be a politician. I'm not defending Margaret Thatcher, but we believe our statesmen are also human beings.

The best way to learn to write is to read in the genre you might be interested in; then, you need to actually sit down and write. In a lot of cases, the first book you write will not get published. Do not get hung up on that. Start a second book.

With no matter what human being, taken individually, I always find reasons for concluding that sorrow and misfortune do not suit him; either because he seems too mediocre for anything so great, or, on the contrary, too precious to be destroyed.

Simone Weil

We've been merging with tools since the beginning of human evolution, and arguably, that's one of the things that makes us human beings.

I mean one of the things about being alone is that you've no people to define yourself off, I mean, people are like all-round mirrors, because let's face it, we don't often see ourselves all round in a mirror anyway, do we.
