Oscar Wilde Zitate

Literature must rest always on a principle, and temporal considerations are no principle at all. For, to the poet, all times and places are one; the stuff he deals with is eternal and eternally the same: no theme is inept, no past or present preferable.

Oscar Wilde

Deutsche Übersetzung

Die Literatur muss immer auf einem Prinzip beruhen, und zeitliche Überlegungen sind überhaupt kein Prinzip. Denn für den Dichter sind alle Zeiten und Orte eins; Der Stoff, mit dem er sich befasst, ist ewig und ewig dasselbe: Kein Thema ist unfähig, keine Vergangenheit oder Gegenwart vorzuziehen.

I never ran for student council or class president or any of that stuff. I didn't hang out with those people. It was just a different universe from the one I inhabited.

Englisches Zitat von Sophie B. Hawkins als Bild

We're all struggling to get out of the past. We see something that reminds us of something, and then we bring our baggage into the present. Then we project it onto people constantly.

In Jamaica, them always have throwback riddims, recycled old beats, and the hardcore reggae scene is always present. You have faster stuff like the more commercialized stuff, but you always have that segment of music that is always from the core, from the original root of it.

We know about every massacre that has taken place close to the present, but the ones in the distant past are like trees falling in the forest with no one to hear them.

Leave home? It's quite a scary thought. I'm not the most independent person and that's the result. When you're always surrounded by people it becomes quite normal.
