Zitat des Tages über Segel / Sails:
I wanted to make sure that 'Up' wasn't a 3D movie about a man who sails his house to South America. It's a movie about an old man who sails his house to South America that also happens to be in 3D. So the first thing is always the story.
If my ship sails from sight, it doesn't mean my journey ends, it simply means the river bends.
He who rides the sea of the Nile must have sails woven of patience.
Happiness is brief. It will not stay. God batters at its sails.
You don't want to throw out a good idea and have nobody get excited about it. It takes the wind out of your sails.
He who studies medicine without books sails an uncharted sea, but he who studies medicine without patients does not go to sea at all.
One ship drives east and other drives west by the same winds that blow. It's the set of the sails and not the gales that determines the way they go.
It is the set of the sails, not the direction of the wind that determines which way we will go.
Some people may say my curved panels look like sails. Well, I am a sailor, so I guess I probably do use that metaphor in my work - though not consciously.
I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.
We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails.
The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.
Success soon palls. The joyous time is when the breeze first strikes your sails, and the waters rustle under your bows.
Wisdom sails with wind and time.
Windmills, which are used in the great plains of Holland and North Germany to supply the want of falling water, afford another instance of the action of velocity. The sails are driven by air in motion - by wind.
I'm a TV junkie, so it's hard to choose just one. Currently I'm a slave to 'Black Sails,' 'Vikings,' 'Game of Thrones' and 'The Mindy Project.'
I wanted to sail when I was in grammar school and well remember memorizing the names of the sails from the Merriam-Webster's ponderous dictionary in the library. Now I am actually at sea - as a passenger, of course, but at sea nevertheless - and bound for Ecuador.
I keep sailing on in this middle passage. I am sailing into the wind and the dark. But I am doing my best to keep my boat steady and my sails full.
You run the risk, whenever you build your story around a central mystery, of either letting it go too long, or revealing it too soon and then taking the wind out of the sails of the narrative.
