Meghan Daum Zitate

The reason it was so bruising when someone said I was from a rich family is that, like many of us, I'm deeply invested - probably overly so - in the myth of my own self-creation. I like to believe that I got where I am, such as it is, by working hard and charting my own course.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Der Grund, warum es so schmerzhaft war, als jemand sagte, dass ich aus einer reichen Familie stamme, ist, dass ich, wie viele von uns, tief in den Mythos meiner eigenen Kreation investiert bin. Ich glaube gerne, dass ich, wo ich bin, wie es ist, durch hartes Arbeiten und Chartieren meines eigenen Kurses gekommen bin.

When I create characters, I create a world to inhabit and they begin to feel very real for me. I don't belong in a psych ward, I don't think, but they become very real, like my own family, and then I have to say goodbye, close the door, and work on other things.
