Thomas Bailey Aldrich Zitate

Books that have become classics - books that have had their day and now get more praise than perusal - always remind me of retired colonels and majors and captains who, having reached the age limit, find themselves retired on half pay.

Thomas Bailey Aldrich

Deutsche Übersetzung

Bücher, die zu Klassikern geworden sind - Bücher, die ihren Tag gehabt haben und jetzt mehr Lob als Durchsicht bekommen - erinnern mich immer an pensionierte Obersten und Majors und Captains, die, nachdem sie die Altersgrenze erreicht haben, mit der Hälfte des Gehalts in Rente gehen.

Englisches Zitat von Lester B. Pearson als Bild

True there has been more talk of peace since 1945 than, I should think, at any other time in history. At least we hear more and read more about it because man's words, for good or ill, can now so easily reach the millions.

Englisches Zitat von Georges Duhamel als Bild

Suffering has roused them from the sleep of gentle life, and every day fills them with a terrible intoxication. They are now something more than themselves; those we loved were merely happy shadows.

Englisches Zitat von Julius Erving als Bild

There's the typical books, Moby Dick and, I guess in my adult life I began to read biographies more than fiction. I started to want to relate to other people's lives, things that had really happened.

Julius Erving

Englisches Zitat von Nick Earls als Bild

When I was about eight, I realised the person whose name was on the book got money for it, and it seemed almost too good to be true that you could get paid for making things up.

I know the game wasn't a classic, but the night was about more than that-it was about bringing back the memories and raising money for former heroes who have now fallen on hard times.
