Fighting Style

Famous quotes containing the words fighting and/or style:

    In fighting there are no light blows; in cursing, no gentle words.
    Chinese proverb.

    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)
