Madeleine Albright Zitate

Even before I went to the UN, I often would want to say something in a meeting - only woman at the table - and I'd think, 'OK well, I don't think I'll say that. It may sound stupid.' And then some man says it, and everybody thinks it's completely brilliant, and you are so mad at yourself for not saying something.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Sogar bevor ich zur UN ging, wollte ich oft etwas in einer Besprechung sagen - nur eine Frau am Tisch - und ich würde denken: ‚Okay, ich glaube nicht, dass ich das sagen werde. Es mag sich dumm anhören. ' Und dann sagt es jemand, und jeder denkt, es sei vollkommen brillant, und Sie sind so sauer auf sich selbst, dass Sie nichts gesagt haben.

Everyone saying, 'She'll bring back women's skating. This will be the one to watch at the Olympics.' And they say things that are so far away, but really, you have to bring it back in and look at the next competition, the next day, what you want to accomplish because if you get too far ahead of yourself, you can trip yourself up.

My students often say, 'My roommate read this story and really liked it,' and it's hard to convince them that there are things wrong with it. I say, 'Well, people who love you want you to be happy. But I'm your professor and I'm supposed to be teaching you something.'
