Thomas Frank Zitate

We have become a society that can't self-correct, that can't address its obvious problems, that can't pull out of its nosedive. And so to our list of disasters let us add this fourth entry: we have entered an age of folly that - for all our Facebooking and the twittling tweedle-dee-tweets of the twitterati - we can't wake up from.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Wir sind zu einer Gesellschaft geworden, die sich nicht selbst korrigieren kann, die offensichtlichen Probleme nicht lösen kann, die sich nicht aus ihrem Sturzflug lösen kann. Zu unserer Katastrophenliste fügen wir diesen vierten Eintrag hinzu: Wir sind in ein Zeitalter der Torheit eingetreten, das - trotz aller Facebooking-Aktionen und der zwitschernden Tweedle-Dee-Tweets der Twitter-Fans - wir nicht aufwachen können.

Bobby Jindal

Like the winds that we come we know not whence and blow whither soever they list, the forces of society are derived from an obscure and distant origin. They arise before the date of philosophy, from the instincts, not the speculations of men.

Adam Ferguson

At times we expected the allies unquestioningly to follow our leads; sometimes we failed to consult them in advance before reversing policies; at other times we ignored their requests.

Richard Kerry

My problem is that my imagination won't turn off. I wake up so excited I can't eat breakfast. I've never run out of energy. It's not like OPEC oil; I don't worry about a premium going on my energy. It's just always been there. I got it from my mom.

Steven Spielberg

Fame obviously has become a premium in everybody's life. Everybody thinks they deserve it, everybody thinks they want it and most people really don't enjoy it once they get it.

Kelsey Grammer

Oh all the time when Victoria Wood and I did our series. There were people asking 'Can women be funny?' People still ask that. It's like asking: 'Can women breathe in and out?'

Julie Walters
