Knack Quotes - Page 6

• Even though novels were the love of my life, I started off writing poetry. I think because I had a knack for image and lyricism, even though I didn't really have anything to write about, or I didn't know what to write about. I could just couple words together that pleased me and so poetry seemed sort of natural.

• Tengo la sensación de que los guionistas a los que les resulta difícil escribir guiones no suelen ser lo bastante perezosos para el trabajo. No saben parar antes de terminar la tarea. Siempre he tenido facilidad para dejar las cosas sin terminar, lo que hace que escribir guiones me resulte más fácil que a la mayoría.

• To me, the most important thing was to treat people the way you want to be treated. Some people say that I'm a mean person. Well, you know what? The person that's saying that is probably a dipshit and I put them in their place! I have a knack for doing that.

• Siempre he confiado en la disciplina para alcanzar metas grandes y pequeñas. Desde muy joven, mi padre me inculcó una verdadera ética del trabajo y el miedo a los hombres. Siempre he pensado que si no tenía un don natural para algo, podía disciplinarme más que la competencia. Así que siempre me esforzaba al máximo, a veces en detrimento mío y de mi vida personal. Para mí, fuerza de voluntad y disciplina son sinónimos.

• Perhaps I overemphasized the value of keeping busy.... I liked to imagine that I was incapable of doing nothing for afternoons myself, but maybe what disturbed me was that I was capable of it. I feared this was a knack one could get the hang of rather readily, and it was therefore now lurking in my house waiting for me to pick it up like a winter flu.

• El kitsch es una de las principales categorías del objeto moderno. Chucherías, objetos rústicos, souvenirs, pantallas de lámparas, máscaras africanas: el objeto kitsch es toda esa plétora de objetos "cutres", falsos, todo ese museo de chatarra que prolifera por doquier .... El kitsch es el equivalente del "cliché" en el discurso.

• Among the multitude of scholars and authors, we feel no hallowing presence; we are sensible of a knack and skill rather than of inspiration; they have a light, and know not whence it comes, and call it their own; their talent is some exaggerated faculty, some overgrown member, so that their strength is a disease.

• I've maintained old friendships, like with people I knew in the nineteen-seventies, but have lost the knack for meeting new people. This has a lot to do with my writing schedule. I don't want to be disturbed, and the willingness to be disturbed is, I think, part of being a good friend.

• Are people who have been crazy held to unfair standards?Of course, but it's not in your best interest to complain. If you're paranoid and people are looking at you funny it's best to let it pass. Psychotic people have an uncanny knack for making their own worst dreams come true. Depressing things happen to depressed people way beyond what you would expect from random distribution.
