The best translations cannot ordsprog

The best translations cannot convey to us the strength and exquisite delicacy of thought in its native garb, and he to whom such books are shut flounders about in outer darkness.

Edwin Booth (1833-1893)

The words of the Hebrew tongue have a peculiar energy, ... It is impossible to convey so much so briefly in any other language. To render them intelligibly we must not attempt to give word for word translations, but only aim at the sense and the [original Author's] idea.

Cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

I do not hesitate to read all good books in translations. What is really best in any book is translatable -- any real insight or broad human sentiment.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)

Tea and books - Mmmmmm, two of life's exquisite pleasures that together bring near-bliss.

Delicacy - a sad, sad false delicacy - robs literature of the two best things among its belongings: Family-circle narratives and obscene stories

Mark Twain (1835-1910)

What's encouraging about meditation is that even if we shut down, we can no longer shut down in ignorance. We see very clearly that we're closing off. That in itself begins to illuminate the darkness of ignorance.

Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

My darkness has been filled with the light of intelligence, and behold, the outer day-lit world was stumbling and groping in social blindness

Helen Keller (1880-1968)

Genius without religion is only a lamp on the outer gate of a palace; it may serve to cast a gleam of light on those that are without, while the inhabitant sits in darkness

We hoped to play tough. We thought if we shut down the pass, we could shut down the run. They ran the ball better than I thought.

All safety systems worked to successfully shut down production on the OCS (Outer Continental Shelf) platforms,

The thing that bothers me the most is I just thought we shut it down. Was our goaltending good? No, it wasn't good.
