Famous quotes containing the words bad and/or penny:

    Any translation which intends to perform a transmitting function cannot transmit anything but information—hence, something inessential. This is the hallmark of bad translations.
    Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)

    With one hand he put
    A penny in the urn of poverty,
    And with the other took a shilling out.
    Robert Pollok (1798–1827)
