Timothy D. Snyder Zitate

Americans do not want to think that there is an alternative to what we have. Therefore, as soon as you say 'fascism' or whatever it might be, then the American response is to say 'no' because we lack the categories that allow us to think outside of the box that we are no longer in.

Die Amerikaner wollen nicht glauben, dass es eine Alternative zu dem gibt, was wir haben. Sobald Sie also "Faschismus" sagen oder was immer es auch sein mag, lautet die amerikanische Antwort "Nein", weil uns die Kategorien fehlen, die es uns erlauben, über den Tellerrand hinaus zu denken, in dem wir uns nicht mehr befinden.

I think what it means to be an 'American Girl,' and what I wrote the song about, is our freedoms. The idea that we as Americans can be what we want to be and say what we want to say and that we take it for granted.

Creativity is the key for any child with dyslexia - or for anyone, for that matter. Then you can think outside of the box. Teach them anything is attainable. Let them run with what you see is whatever they need to run with.

Although I still have a long way to go, I would like to become the pride of Asia. When another Asian artist enters the U.S. market, I would like him to think, 'There was an artist called Rain who succeeded in the U.S. market.' This is my dream.

I'm a writer. In Latin America, they say I'm a Latin-American writer because I also write in Spanish and my books are translated, but I am an American citizen and my books are published here, so I'm also an American writer.
