Maria Semple Zitate

When you need a good laugh, do you reach for a book? I don't. I expect books to move me deeply and submerge me in another reality. So when a novel makes me roar with laughter, it's always a delightful surprise.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Wenn Sie ein gutes Lachen brauchen, greifen Sie nach einem Buch? Ich nicht. Ich erwarte, dass Bücher mich tief bewegen und in eine andere Realität tauchen. Wenn ein Roman mich vor Lachen brüllt, ist das immer eine wunderbare Überraschung.

Books give us insight into other people, other cultures. They make us laugh. They make us think. If they are really good, they make us believe that we are better for having read them. You don't read a book - you experience it. Every story opens up a new world.

When I read period material - and it ain't on Google - I am always alert for that one incredible detail. I'll read a whole book and get three words out of it, but they'll be three really good words.

There's got to be something that you can do that will not just be a nice honor to the play, or the book, or the movie you're dealing with, but some aspect that maybe can explore something that the play couldn't do.

It's not about where you were born or where you come from that makes you a good scientist. What you need are good teachers, co-students, facilities.
