Zitat des Tages über Wegweiser / Signposts:
Good writers are in the business of leaving signposts saying, Tour my world, see and feel it through my eyes; I am your guide.
Despite the metadata attached to each tweet, and despite trails of retweets and 'favorite' tweets, the Twitter corpus lacks the latticework of hyperlinks that makes Google's algorithms so potent. Twitter's famous hashtags - #sandyhook or #fiscalcliff or #girls - are the crudest sort of signposts, not much help for smart searching.
There are no signposts in the sea.
There are no signposts in the sky to show a man has passed that way before. There are no channels marked. The flier breaks each second into new uncharted seas.
We should be wary of politicians who profess to follow history while only noticing those signposts of history that point in the direction which they themselves already favour.
I'm lucky I had signposts in my life. At important times, I got pointed in the right direction by particular circumstances.
The safest road to hell is the gradual one - the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts.
I miss quite major cultural signposts quite often.
Symbols are the imaginative signposts of life.
Children find themselves adrift not because the informational signposts are illegible, but because there is no one around to guide and accompany them.
The trouble with our age is all signposts and no destination.
The universe will put signposts in your life. You can either ignore them or embrace them. You can choose and wish for all the things you want, but the things that are coming to you, you will never be able to hide from and the things that you want so bad that are not supposed to be for you for whatever reason, they'll never come to you.
