Richard Preston Zitate

If a portion of a redwood is rotting, the redwood will send roots into its own form and draw nutrients out of itself as it falls apart. If we had redwood-like biology, if we got a touch of gangrene in our arm, then we could just, you know, extract the nutrients and the moisture out of it until it fell off.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Wenn ein Teil eines Rotholzes verrottet, sendet das Rotholz Wurzeln in seine eigene Form und zieht Nährstoffe aus sich heraus, wenn es auseinander fällt. Wenn wir eine rotholzartige Biologie hätten, wenn wir einen Gang von Gangrän im Arm hätten, dann könnten wir die Nährstoffe und die Feuchtigkeit herausziehen, bis sie abgefallen sind.

You just never know when somebody's gonna die. It could happen at any moment so you've got to really treat everybody that way. Just really let everybody know how you feel about them.

I've always figured the only way I could finish a book and get a plot was just to keep making it longer and longer until something happens - you know, until it finds its own plot - because you can't outline and then fit the thing into it. I suppose it's a slow way of working.

With 'Ilustrado,' I set out to change the way we read literature, and I think I failed spectacularly. In fact, I know I failed. In reaching further than I could, I may not have produced a life- or literature-changing book, but I did produce one I am proud of.

When I'd get out of school in the afternoon, I would go to the golf course, and I just picked the game up. And when I was 13 years old, I could shoot 70 - even-par 71, one over par and then something like that. I just took a liking to the game.
