Rich Cohen Zitate

The Toothbrush mustache was first introduced in Germany by Americans, who turned up with it at the end of the 19th century the way Americans would turn up with ducktails in the 1950s. It was a bit of modern efficiency, an answer to the ornate mustaches of Europe - pop effluvia that fell into the grip of a bad, bad man.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Der Toothbrush-Schnurrbart wurde erstmals in Deutschland von den Amerikanern eingeführt, die Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts damit auftauchten, wie die Amerikaner in den 1950er-Jahren mit Entenköpfen auftauchen würden. Es war ein bisschen moderne Effizienz, eine Antwort auf die verzierten Schnurrbärte Europas - Pop Effluvia, die einem bösen, bösen Mann in die Hände fiel.

One has to explain to people that the EU in this form is the answer both to 1945 and to the 21st century, in a dramatically altered world with new heavyweights, and that Germany benefits from the continued integration of Europe in political, economic and societal ways. And, of course, that means the Germans will have to pay.

I'm a third-culture child. It's an interesting concept. Having an American father, a South American mother, born in England, grew up in Hong Kong, went to school in Europe - it makes me a third-culture child, which means you take on the culture of the place where you live. So I'm very adaptable.

I want history to remember me... not as the first black woman to have made a bid for the presidency of the United States, but as a black woman who lived in the 20th century and who dared to be herself. I want to be remembered as a catalyst for change in America.

We're the roughest people in the way we play and live, and that is because Americans come from people who all got up one morning and went 5,000 miles, and that was a time in the 19th century when it wasn't so easy to do.
