Zitate und Sprüche von Amy Tan

Das Leben verändert sich schneller als man denkt.

Life changes faster than you think.

Ich hatte keine Angst vor dem Versagen. Ich habe erwartet, zu versagen.

I didn't fear failure. I expected failure.

Wer weiß schon, wo Inspiration her kommt. Vielleicht erwächst sie aus Verzweiflung. Vielleicht kommt sie vom Universum, aus dem Wohlwollen der Muse.

Who knows where inspiration comes from. Perhaps it arises from desperation. Perhaps it comes from the flukes of the universe, the kindness of the muses.

It's both rebellion and conformity that attack you with success.
