Englisches Zitat von Marcus Sakey als Bild

I do wish that reviews were less like book reports. There was an era when reviewers had something to say about a book: when they painted context and drew conclusions. Many reviews these days are little more than plot summary.

Marcus Sakey

Deutsche Übersetzung

Ich wünschte, dass Rezensionen weniger wie Buchberichte wären. Es gab eine Zeit, in der Rezensenten etwas zu einem Buch zu sagen hatten: wenn sie den Kontext malten und Schlussfolgerungen zogen. Viele Rezensionen in diesen Tagen sind wenig mehr als eine Zusammenfassung der Handlung.

Well, I definitely have an artistic side to me as well. I write, I act, I draw. With that artistic mind I have, a lot of doors have opened for me. I can try to pursue, like - if it's something using my writing skills, maybe a book. Or maybe if it's my drawing skills, some clothing designs.

Mitt Romney would move the Court even further right, putting landmark decisions like Roe v. Wade at risk. Some say Romney would repeat the past. I disagree - he'd be worse.

I think I said something mean when I was little, and my mother snapped on me. I was just like, 'I'm sorry!' I could relate. If I had cursed out my dad, I probably would be just waking up.

Doing a movie is a stressful thing. You spend months of you life focusing into that one project, and I want to make sure I do something I really like or I'm really passionate about.

Science is not about control. It is about cultivating a perpetual condition of wonder in the face of something that forever grows one step richer and subtler than our latest theory about it. It is about reverence, not mastery.
