Goodman

Famous quotes containing the word goodman:

    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)

    I am now of all humors that have showed themselves humors
    since the old days of goodman Adam to the pupil age of this
    present twelve o’clock at midnight.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The stars which shone over Babylon and the stable in Bethlehem still shine as brightly over the Empire State Building and your front yard today. They perform their cycles with the same mathematical precision, and they will continue to affect each thing on earth, including man, as long as the earth exists.
    —Linda Goodman (b. 1929)
