Famous quotes containing the words translation and/or english:

    “Well meant are the wounds a friend inflicts, but profuse are the kisses of an enemy.”
    —Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 27:6.

    KJ translation reads: Faithful are the wounds of a friend.

    “So in Jamaica it is the aim of everybody to talk English, act English and look English. And that last specification is where the greatest difficulties arise. It is not so difficult to put a coat of European culture over African culture, but it is next to impossible to lay a European face over an African face in the same generation.”
    —Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
