Leo Rosten Zitate

Proverbs often contradict one another, as any reader soon discovers. The sagacity that advises us to look before we leap promptly warns us that if we hesitate we are lost; that absence makes the heart grow fonder, but out of sight, out of mind.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Sprichwörter widersprechen sich oft, wie jeder Leser bald herausfindet. Die Scharfsinnigkeit, die uns vor dem Sprung ansieht, warnt uns unverzüglich, wenn wir zögern, sind wir verloren; diese Abwesenheit lässt das Herz wachsen, aber außer Sicht, aus dem Kopf.

As a species, the look of another of our species into our eyes has a great power. It can mean a lot of different things: aggression, love.

Chris Milk

I hate belongings. I hate clutter. It really bothers me because I can't think properly. If you've got distractions in front of you, your mind goes nuts.

Obesity in children is growing out of control. A big part of this is economic. Fake foods are more affordable. It's enticing people to eat more because they think they're saving money when they're really just buying heart disease.

Sometimes in the heart of the summer, I look at people with their faces shaved and think it'd be nice, but once you get used to it, it's not as hot. Most guys say it gets itchy, but once you grow it out into a big man beard, the itching is gone.

I didn't have anybody, really, no foundation in life, so I had to make my own way. Always, from the start. I had to go out in the world and become strong, to discover my mission in life.
