P. J. O'Rourke Zitate

I come from Toledo, Ohio, a town that has been hurt badly by the shift of the automobile business towards Japan. And yet I remember how the car workers lived in the neighborhood that I grew up in. My father was a car salesman, and I remember how we lived. I remember how modestly we lived.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Ich komme aus Toledo, Ohio, einer Stadt, die durch die Verlagerung des Automobilgeschäfts in Richtung Japan schwer getroffen wurde. Und trotzdem erinnere ich mich, wie die Autoarbeiter in der Nachbarschaft lebten, in der ich aufgewachsen bin. Mein Vater war ein Autoverkäufer, und ich erinnere mich, wie wir lebten. Ich erinnere mich, wie bescheiden wir lebten.

I don't think anybody has ever been able to live up to what they promised. I don't know a government that has ever been successful at that because once they get into power, things change and the world is controlled also by business now.

I grew up in a household without a TV. We lived next door to a library for a while, and at one point, I checked out all the books in the fairy tale section. I remember the librarian's quiet smile as I'd bring back one stack and exchange it for another.

You just don't see Muslims being matter-of-fact Muslim. They're always defined by their Muslim-ness. We're either terrorists, or we're fighting terrorists. I remember seeing 'True Lies' and going, 'Why are we always the bad guys?'
