Michael Connelly Zitate

When I went home at 20 to tell my parents, 'I don't want to be an engineer, I want to try and write books,' I was braced for, 'That's not gonna happen.' But I didn't get that response, and maybe it was because of my dad's experience of having an artistic dream and having to put it aside.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Als ich mit 20 nach Hause ging, um meinen Eltern zu sagen: "Ich möchte kein Ingenieur sein, ich möchte versuchen, Bücher zu schreiben." Ich hatte mich darauf gefreut, "Das wird nicht passieren." Aber ich bekam diese Antwort nicht, und vielleicht lag es daran, dass mein Vater einen künstlerischen Traum hatte und ihn beiseite legen musste.

Boxes and rectangles on the side or top of a website simply do not deliver against brand advertising goals. Like it or not, boxes and rectangles have for the most part become the province of direct response advertising, or brand advertising that pays, on average, as if it's driven by direct response metrics.

Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear.

At first, I spend about four hours a day writing. Toward the end of a book, I spend up to 16 hours a day on it, because all I want to do is make it good and get it done.

Both parents were teachers. My father became an assistant principal, and he was responsible for discipline at the school. So I didn't get away with much at home.
