Fitzgerald Translation

Famous quotes containing the words fitzgerald and/or translation:

“Men get to be a mixture of the charming mannerisms of the women they have known.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

“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)
