Mythen / Myths Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages über Mythen / Myths:

Myths can't be translated as they did in their ancient soil. We can only find our own meaning in our own time. Margaret Atwood

Camryn Manheim

One of the common myths is that when you have kids you can't really have adult relationships, that kids come first. We don't think so. We actually think that we have to take care of ourselves individually. If we can take care of ourselves, then we can become better partners for our spouse.

Nir Eyal

James D. Watson

The cinema has done more for my spiritual life than the church. My ideas of fame, success and beauty all originate from the big screen.
