W. H. Davies Zitate

There is quite a large clan of Scotties among American beggars. He is a good beggar for the simple reason that he is a good talker. Almost every Scotch beggar I met in the States of America was inclined to be talkative, and yet they all managed to conceal their private affairs.

Unter den amerikanischen Bettlern gibt es einen großen Clan von Scotties. Er ist ein guter Bettler aus dem einfachen Grund, dass er ein guter Redner ist. Fast jeder schottische Bettler, den ich in den Vereinigten Staaten traf, neigte zu Gesprächen, und dennoch gelang es ihnen, ihre privaten Angelegenheiten zu verbergen.

The large ensemble cast and the fact that it was being shot in New York, combined with a lot of strong positive images as far as African Americans are concerned, really turned me on to The Best Man.

It is clear from the reaction to our campaign so far that our message is resonating. I look forward to continuing to take this message to all Americans, and showing them that I can be as successful running the country as I was running the state of New Mexico.

The phenomenon of vampires has always appealed to me. Everyone kind of likes a vampire story because it almost could be true.

All I know is that as an audience member, I am less and less inclined to go to the theater. But that has to do with content and also because the venues seem to be actively trying to repel people.
