Famous quotes containing the words english and/or translation:
“The difference is wide that the sheets will not decide.”
—English proverb, collected in John Ray, English Proverbs (1670)
“To translate, one must have a style of his own, for otherwise the translation will have no rhythm or nuance, which come from the process of artistically thinking through and molding the sentences; they cannot be reconstituted by piecemeal imitation. The problem of translation is to retreat to a simpler tenor of one’s own style and creatively adjust this to one’s author.”
—Paul Goodman (1911–1972)
