Moliere Zitate

Some of the most famous books are the least worth reading. Their fame was due to their having done something that needed to be doing in their day. The work is done and the virtue of the book has expired.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Einige der berühmtesten Bücher sind am wenigsten lesenswert. Ihr Ruhm beruhte darauf, dass sie etwas getan hatten, was sie zu ihrer Zeit tun mussten. Die Arbeit ist erledigt und die Tugend des Buches ist abgelaufen.

I never watched TV because I was always doing a game. I didn't have any experience to be home watching games. I didn't know how to do it. Brent Musburger and those guys could sit and watch every game and know the scores. And I was amazed and said, 'I'd like to have something like that someday.'
