Pico Iyer Zitate

In barely one generation, we've moved from exulting in the time-saving devices that have so expanded our lives to trying to get away from them - often in order to make more time. The more ways we have to connect, the more many of us seem desperate to unplug.

Pico Iyer

Deutsche Übersetzung

In kaum einer Generation haben wir uns von jubelnden zeitsparenden Geräten, die unser Leben so ausgedehnt haben, zu dem Versuch entwickelt, von ihnen wegzukommen - oft, um mehr Zeit zu gewinnen. Je mehr Möglichkeiten wir haben, um eine Verbindung herzustellen, desto mehr scheinen wir verzweifelt zu trennen.

Englisches Zitat von T. S. Eliot als Bild

Poetry may make us from time to time a little more aware of the deeper, unnamed feelings which form the substratum of our being, to which we rarely penetrate; for our lives are mostly a constant evasion of ourselves.

T. S. Eliot

A woman has many faces as she goes through her life. It's like we need more than one hair-do. We have many, many changes in the evolution of our lives. We have, we learn, and we grow; we view life differently, and life views us differently.

We're past the age of heroes and hero kings... Most of our lives are basically mundane and dull, and it's up to the writer to find ways to make them interesting.

John Updike

Englisches Zitat von Alan Keyes als Bild

It's about time we all faced up to the truth. If we accept the radical homosexual agenda, be it in the military or in marriage or in other areas of our lives, we are utterly destroying the concept of family.

Englisches Zitat von Jason Blum als Bild

All of our movies are lower budget, and that makes them more interesting, too: we have to come up with solutions other than throwing money at problems.

Jason Blum

New Year's Resolutions come and go. Some we keep, some we don't. In order to make lasting changes in our lives, we must first change our minds. We sometimes forget, and we often feel stuck, but we all have the power to do so.
