William O. Douglas Zitate

As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression. In both instances, there is a twilight when everything remains seemingly unchanged, and it is in such a twilight that we all must be most aware of change in the air - however slight - lest we become unwitting victims of darkness.

Da der Einbruch der Nacht nicht sofort eintritt, tut dies auch keine Unterdrückung. In beiden Fällen gibt es eine Dämmerung, in der alles scheinbar unverändert bleibt, und in einer solchen Dämmerung müssen wir uns alle der Veränderungen in der Luft bewusst sein - auch wenn sie noch so klein sind, damit wir nicht unwissende Opfer der Dunkelheit werden.

Writing has taught me a lot - though far from everything - about writing, so as time has passed, it has become more pleasurable if not easier. I've done other things in life, but writing is by a factor of 10 the most difficult among them. And, of course, you never achieve what you set out to achieve, so you must keep on trying to do better.

It is my opinion that everything must be based on a simple idea. And it is my opinion that this idea, once we have finally discovered it, will be so compelling, so beautiful, that we will say to one another, yes, how could it have been any different.
