Norman Davies Zitate

Englisches Zitat von Norman Davies als Bild

I don't see why a book shouldn't be intellectually sound, entertaining, and fun to read. Historians who write academic history, which is unreadable, are basically wasting their time.

Norman Davies

Deutsche Übersetzung

Ich kann nicht verstehen, warum ein Buch nicht intellektuell gesund, unterhaltsam und lesenswert sein sollte. Historiker, die akademische Geschichte schreiben, die nicht lesbar ist, verschwenden grundsätzlich ihre Zeit.

Some of the songs I do once in a while that I kinda... my set list is basically like my hits, there is a good reason why they are there; people really like them.

Englisches Zitat von John Gregory Dunne als Bild

A writer is an eternal outsider, his nose pressed against whatever window on the other side of which he sees his material.

John Gregory Dunne

I particularly admire are Mark Twain and Jerome K. Jerome who wrote in a certain tone of voice which was humane and understanding of humanity, but always ready to annotate its little foibles. I think I'd lay my cards down on that, and say that it's that that I'm trying to do.

Terry Pratchett

Most people can't tell now who wrote what. I like that blurring of identities within the band. because it becomes a unified thing that can't be related to other forms of historical poetry.

Thurston Moore
