Louisa May Alcott Zitate

Conceit spoils the finest genius. There is not much danger that real talent or goodness will be overlooked long; even if it is, the consciousness of possessing and using it well should satisfy one, and the great charm of all power is modesty.

Louisa May Alcott

Deutsche Übersetzung

Conceit verdirbt das feinste Genie. Es besteht keine große Gefahr, dass wahres Talent oder Güte lange übersehen wird; Selbst wenn dies der Fall ist, sollte das Bewußtsein, es gut zu besitzen und zu benutzen, einen zufrieden stellen, und der große Reiz aller Macht ist Bescheidenheit.

Englisches Zitat von Jim Nabors als Bild

I've never considered myself an actor; I get much more immediate satisfaction singing. If you sing good, people clap. On television, you never know whether you've done well or not.

When we were first offered a book deal prior to Avon's, they were trying to get us to change it from the first-person story into a how-to book, and they were offering us some decent money. My agent told me; 'you should really consider this'.

Life cannot be without relationship, but we have made it so agonizing and hideous by basing it on personal and possessive love. Can one love and yet not possess? You will find the true answer not in escape, ideals, beliefs but through the understanding of the causes of dependence and possessiveness.

Jiddu Krishnamurti

In many countries, they do not even keep track of how girls are doing in school, or if they are there at all. If we say, 'Girls count,' then we must count girls, so we can see if we are really making progress in educating every girl.

It should be quite clear that it is possible for unpleasant people who are small in various ways other than in their artistic genius to produce great art. Art and morality have no necessary connection.
