Zitat des Tages über Nachteil / Disadvantage:

'The Sopranos,' for instance, is arguably the best cable show of all time. They could have made a movie, but that show ended so perfectly, it would almost be a disadvantage to make a movie like that. Then again, if you made a 'Sopranos' movie, people would be lined around the block to go see it.

Jerry Ferrara

The only disadvantage of an honest heart is credulity.

Miriam Margolyes

With segregation, with the isolation of the injured and the robbed, comes the concentration of disadvantage.

Instead, the concentration of poverty has been paired with a concentration of melanin.

Ta-Nehisi Coates
