Deutsche Übersetzung

Wir singen und tanzen nicht mehr. Wir wissen nicht wie. Stattdessen schauen wir zu, wie andere Menschen auf dem Fernsehschirm singen und tanzen. Weihnachten, das einst ein Fest des aktiven Genusses war, hat sich zu einem Passionsspiel aus rein passiven Vergnügen entwickelt.

I'm always going to be making costumes. It's one of the ways I relax my brain. In addition to the pleasure of having the piece, there is a deep and abiding pleasure for me assembling something in my head - learning to know something in its totality in my head, and then putting together all the constituent parts into a cohesive whole.

Tim LaHaye
