Virginia Postrel Zitate

In the fall of 1978, I left the religious, conservative, biracial, slow-paced culture of South Carolina for the secular, liberal, multi-ethnic, intense culture of Princeton University. Like most immigrants, I was looking for a better life in a place I only half understood.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Im Herbst 1978 verließ ich die religiöse, konservative, biraciale, langsame Kultur von South Carolina für die säkulare, liberale, multiethnische, intensive Kultur der Princeton University. Wie die meisten Einwanderer suchte ich nach einem besseren Leben an einem Ort, den ich nur zur Hälfte verstanden hatte.

The biggest thing I've learned from my dad is he's had adoring crowds of 8,000 at Berkeley, and 6,000 at Jerry Falwell's Liberty University. That's an amazing feat to have people coming out in one of the most liberal universities and one of the most conservative.

When I visited Africa to make my film 'Music by Prudence,' I was struck by how intensely religious and socially conservative Africans were. There was literally a church on every corner.

It should be remarked that, as the principle of liberty is better understood, and more nobly interpreted, a broader protest is made in behalf of women. As men become aware that few have had a fair chance, they are inclined to say that no women have had a fair chance.
