Joseph Smith Translation

Famous quotes containing the words smith and/or translation:

“The notion of making money by popular work, and then retiring to do good work, is the most familiar of all the devil’s traps for artists.”
—Logan Pearsall Smith (1865–1946)

“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)
