Paul Theroux Zitate

I have always felt that the truth is prophetic, and that if you describe precisely what you see and give it life with your imagination, then what you write ought to have lasting value, no matter what the mood of your prose.

Ich habe immer das Gefühl gehabt, dass die Wahrheit prophetisch ist, und wenn Sie genau beschreiben, was Sie sehen und es mit Ihrer Phantasie zum Leben erwecken, muss das, was Sie schreiben, einen bleibenden Wert haben, unabhängig von der Stimmung Ihrer Prosa.

Keep in mind that no matter how perfectly you get your life in order, you will never be rid of all your problems. Problems are a way of life, always have been, always will be. But how you elect to view those problems is all up to you.

What people ask for has nothing to do with the value of a property. You might see a listing for $300,000 and think you should make a $250,000 bid. But hyper-focus on what the house is worth. You should know what the house is worth by looking at comparable properties. Base your bid on that.

People ask me, 'What happened in your life that might have pushed you as an artist to get to where you are today?' I always felt a little on the outside. And as such, you're always observing things. So, I'd be kind of re-creating these things in my mind, and I think drawing it was a way to deal with that.

I think some people think that writers read and read and read, get the information, and then write. That's not how it works. Often, you write yourself into a dark place where you don't know what you need to know, so you go get the information.

Anthony Doerr

I think there are always people that you meet in your life that scare you a little, but not because of the terror in their eyes so much as their unpredictability.

Joshua Sasse

English is really free for me; there's no limits to the music and the imagination. And French, it's just I live in Paris, and it's really a poetic language where you can really play with words.
