Zitat des Tages über Wurzeln / Roots:
We have our roots in country, and that's our foundation, but we pull from a lot.
When my hair was dark for 'House,' that was the hardest to maintain because it was like every three weeks my light roots would start coming in.

My roots are in classical music and jazz, and I want the freedom of being able to improvise. This freedom is possible only in a live concert.
Since the beginning of my recording career in 1975, I have had a little difficulty because the pop stations think I'm a jazzer who doesn't have a feeling for pop, so it's hard to get my records played. Similarly, black urban radio doesn't understand that with my R&B roots, I am more than a jazz singer. So I get pigeonholed.

That the caste system must be abolished if the Hindu society is to be reconstructed on the basis of equality, goes without saying. Untouchability has its roots in the caste system.

Writers, especially those of us with roots in other countries, are rarely left to ourselves. We are asked to declare our allegiances, or they are determined for us.

YouTube's a funny place because so many creators fall into their aesthetics out of necessity and the visuals are driven out of an urge to create. You get a lot of interesting examples of interesting design choices that have roots in practicality as well as an artistic sentiment.
