Zitat des Tages über Lausig / Lousy:

Take motherhood: nobody ever thought of putting it on a moral pedestal until some brash feminists pointed out, about a century ago, that the pay is lousy and the career ladder nonexistent.

Many of us have spent a lifetime trying to be what we're not, feeling lousy about ourselves when we fail and sometimes even when we succeed.

Personally, I think we should start right now.

No more pronouncements on lousy verse. No more hidden competition. No more struggling not to be a square.

I have an editor in my head, that's why I can't read Harry Potter, because Rowling is such a lousy writer.

Bob's character was cocky and cowardly; Bing's character was smooth and unruffled. They were great characters - lousy, lovable guys.
But it's just that the whole country is making generally lousy films these days and has been for quite a while. That's the big problem that we all have to think about.
