Terrific Quotes - Página 10

• I didn't want to write unless I could say, and think for myself. I looked to peers that I not only respected but those that supported that. I finished becoming who I am today by sticking up for myself as a voice, but that is in part thanks to the huge role the good guys I chose to work with played in my professional development. Some really terrific human beings who loved horror welcomed me with open arms.

• A lot of young people regard a threat against one person's sexual freedom as a threat against all of them, and that's absolutely how they should regard it. But it's heartening to look at the polls on young people on gay people, gay marriage, and sexual-freedom issues. They're terrific, and that's why the religious right is so desperately trying to lock in their current bare majority for prejudice: because their constituents are dying. They're losing votes every time the ambulance pulls up to the old folks' home. Let's hope it pulls up a little more frequently.

• Me parece que, se reconozca o no, existe una tremenda frustración que aumenta en intensidad y nocividad a medida que pasa el tiempo, cuando la gente siempre está soñando despierta con el tipo de lugar en el que le gustaría vivir, pero nunca convierte el lugar en el que vive en algo que le satisfaga artísticamente. Soñar siempre con una casita junto a un arroyo y no hacer nunca nada en la sofocante casa de la ciudad es desperdiciar la creatividad en este ámbito tan básico y obstaculizar la creatividad futura al no permitir que crezca y se desarrolle con el uso.
