कभी-कभी किसी चीज़ को सँवारने के लिए उसे थोड़ी चोट देनी पड़ती है। कभी-कभी किसी नई चीज़ को उगाने के लिए पुरानी चीज़ को ज़मीन में जोतना पड़ता है।
Sometimes you got to hurt something to help something. Sometimes you have to plow under one thing in order for something else to grow.

मैं चाहता हूँ कि तुम उन्हें वह फ़र्क दिखाओ जो वे तुम्हें समझते हैं और जो तुम असल में बन सकते हो।
I want you to show them the difference between what they think you are and what you can be.

हर चीज़ पर सवाल उठाओ। हर लकीर पर, हर सितारे पर, कही गई हर बात पर। हर चीज़ पर।
Question everything. Every stripe, every star, every word spoken. Everything.

इसके अलावा मुझे कुछ नहीं कहना सिवाय इसके: हमें अपनी अंतरात्मा के साथ जीना होगा।
I have no more to say except this: We must live with our own conscience.

हम में मतभेदों से कहीं ज़्यादा समानताएँ हैं। मैं दुनिया भर के लोगों के बारे में यही कहूँगा। वे नहीं जानते कि उनमें कितनी समानताएँ हैं।
We all have much more in common than we have difference. I would say that about people all over the world. They don't know how much in common that they have

सब कुछ पहले ही कहा जा चुका है, पर उसे फिर से कहे जाने की ज़रूरत है।
Everything's been said, but it needs saying again.
Everything's been said, but it needs saying again.
शब्दों का कोई मतलब नहीं होता। कर्म ही इकलौती चीज़ है। कुछ कर दिखाना ही सब कुछ है।

अपने साथियों के प्रति प्यार और प्रकृति के प्रति सम्मान के बिना, मेरे लिए जीवन एक अभिशाप है।
Without love for my fellow man and respect for nature, to me, life is an obscenity.

कुछ लोग हमेशा खुद को बदलने के लिए संघर्ष करते रहते हैं, और कुछ ऐसे होते हैं जो हमेशा अपने अतीत के नियंत्रण में रहते हैं।
There will always be men struggling to change, and there will always be those who are controlled by the past.

नीत्से ने कहा था कि संगीत के बिना जीवन एक भूल साबित होगा। मेरे लिए, किताबों के बिना जीवन एक भूल है।

मिथक एक ऐसा पुराना झूठ है जिसे लोग सच मान बैठते हैं। गोरे लोग यह मानते हैं कि वे इस धरती पर किसी भी अन्य इंसान से बेहतर हैं - और यह एक मिथक है।
A myth is an old lie that people believe in. White people believe that they're better than anyone else on earth - and that's a myth.

आज मुझे एक ऐसा पैराग्राफ या पन्ना लिखना है जो कल से बेहतर हो।

मैं यह जानने के लिए लिखता हूँ कि मैं असल में कौन हूँ। मेरा एक मुख्य विषय मर्दानी फितरत है। मुझे लगता है कि मैं यह समझने की कोशिश कर रहा हूँ कि असल मर्द होना क्या होता है।
I write to try to find out who I am. One of my main themes is manliness. I think I'm trying to figure out what manliness really is.

आप संगीत से सीखते हैं, महान खिलाड़ियों को काम करते हुए देखकर सीखते हैं - कि वे कितने अनुशासित हैं, कैसे चलते हैं। ये बातें आप किसी शॉर्टस्टॉप खिलाड़ी को काम करते हुए देखकर सीखते हैं, कि कैसे वह एक समय में एक ही चीज़ पर ध्यान केंद्रित करता है। आप शास्त्रीय संगीत, ब्लूज़, जैज़ और ब्लूग्रास से सीखते हैं। इन सबसे आप यह सीखते हैं कि बिना किसी फालतू शब्द के एक बेहतरीन कहानी या लय को कैसे बनाए रखा जाए।
You learn from music, from watching great athletes at work - how disciplined they are, how they move. You learn these things by watching a shortstop at work, how he concentrates on one thing at a time. You learn from classic music, from the blues and jazz, from bluegrass. From all this, you learn how to sustain a great line without bringing in unnecessary words.

कलाकार को एक हृदय शल्यचिकित्सक (हार्ट सर्जन) की तरह होना चाहिए। उसे हर चीज़ को संवेदनशीलता के साथ देखना चाहिए, लेकिन साथ ही एक किस्म के ठंडेपन के साथ काम करना चाहिए, तब तक काम करते रहना चाहिए जब तक कि वह अपनी कला में पूर्णता हासिल न कर ले। इसमें यहाँ-वहाँ खून नहीं बिखरना चाहिए। हर काम बहुत सफाई से होना चाहिए।
The artist must be like a heart surgeon. He must approach something with sympathy, but with a sort of coldness and work and work until he finds some kind of perfection in his work. You can't have blood splashing all over the place. Things must be done very cleanly.

मेरी सभी कहानियों और उपन्यासों में कोई भी लुईジアना से कभी बचकर नहीं निकल पाता। शायद ऐसा इसलिए है क्योंकि मेरी आत्मा ने कभी लुईジアना नहीं छोड़ा, भले ही मेरा शरीर कैलिफ़ोर्निया चला गया हो।
In all my stories and novels, no one ever escapes Louisiana. Maybe that is because my soul never left Louisiana, although my body did go to California.

मेरा पालन-पोषण एक ऐसी महिला ने किया जो जिंदगी भर अपंग रहीं, लेकिन उन्होंने मेरे लिए सब कुछ किया और मेरा लालन-पालन किया। उन्होंने हमारे कपड़े धोए, हमारा खाना पकाया, हमारे लिए हर काम किया। मुझे नहीं लगता कि मैंने अपनी जिंदगी में कभी उनके मुँह से कोई शिकायत सुनी हो। उन्होंने मुझे मेरे भाई-बहनों और समाज के प्रति जिम्मेदारी का पाठ पढ़ाया।
I was raised by a lady that was crippled all her life but she did everything for me and she raised me. She washed our clothes, cooked our food, she did everything for us. I don't think I ever heard her complain a day in her life. She taught me responsibility towards my brother and sisters and the community.

उन्होंने हमें बताया कि हम में से ज्यादातर लोग दर्दनाक मौत मरेंगे, और जो ऐसा नहीं करेंगे, उन्हें जानवरों की स्तर तक गिरा दिया जाएगा।

लोगों को किसी दूसरे इंसान की जान लेने के लिए कोई तारीख और समय तय करने का हक कैसे मिल जाता है? उन्हें भगवान किसने बनाया है?
How do people come up with a date and a time to take life from another man? Who made them God?

बटाईदार भले ही अपनी नजरें झुका ले, लेकिन इसका मतलब यह नहीं कि वह कम मर्द है। ऐसी बातें होना तो बस समाज की एक व्यवस्था है।
The sharecropper may lower his eyes, but not because he's less of a man. That's just a condition of society that such things exist.

जेफरसन, हम इस धरती पर बस इसके अलावा और कुछ नहीं हैं - बहती हुई लकड़ी का एक टुकड़ा, जब तक कि हम में से हर एक इंसान खुद यह तय न कर ले कि उसे कुछ और बनना है। मैं आज भी उसी बहती हुई लकड़ी के टुकड़े की तरह हूँ, और बाहर वे लोग मुझसे बेहतर नहीं हैं। लेकिन तुम बेहतर बन सकते हो।
And that's all we are Jefferson, all of us on this earth, a piece of drifting wood. until we - each of us, individually- decide to become something else. I am still that piece of drifting wood, and those out there are no better. But you can be better.

मैंने अपने लोगों के बारे में लिखकर जितना उपन्यासों को पढ़ने से सीखा है, उतना ही ब्लूज़, जैज़ और स्पिरिचुअल्स (धार्मिक संगीत) को सुनकर भी सीखा है। लेस्टर यंग के टेनर सैक्सोफोन की मद्धम और गहरी धुनें, जॉन कोलट्रेन की वह निर्मल, रूहानी और हमेशा कुछ तलाशती हुई आवाजें, और काउंट बेसी के बिग बैंड की कोमलता और उग्रता—इन सबने साहित्य की ही तरह मेरी कल्पना को प्रज्वलित किया है।
I have learned as much about writing about my people by listening to blues and jazz and spirituals as I have from reading novels. The understatements in the tenor saxophone of Lester Young, the crystal, haunting, forever searching sounds of John Coltrane, and the softness and violence of Count Basie's big band - all have fired my imagination as much as anything in literature.

मेरा मानना है कि लेखक को एक कहानी कहनी चाहिए। मैं कथानक (प्लॉट) में विश्वास रखता हूँ। मैं पात्रों और रोमांच (सस्पेंस) का ताना-बाना बुनने में यकीन रखता हूँ।
I believe that the writer should tell a story. I believe in plot. I believe in creating characters and suspense.

जब भी किसी बच्चे का जन्म होता है, तो बुजुर्ग उसके चेहरे को देखकर पूछते हैं कि क्या वही 'वह खास इंसान' है।
Anytime a child is born, the old people look in his face and ask him if he's the One.

मन को जब आज़ादी मिलती है, तभी शरीर को भी आज़ाद होने का मौका मिलता है। हाँ, उन्हें यकीन करना होगा, उन्हें विश्वास करना होगा। क्योंकि मैं जानता हूँ कि गुलाम होने का मतलब क्या होता है। मैं एक गुलाम हूँ।
Only when the mind is free has the body a chance to be free. Yes, they must believe, they must believe. Because I know what it means to be a slave. I am a slave.

मुझे लगता है कि मैं एक बेहद धार्मिक व्यक्ति हूँ। मुझे लगता है कि मैं भगवान में उतना ही विश्वास रखता हूँ जितना कोई भी इंसान रख सकता है। मैं सिर्फ भगवान में विश्वास ही नहीं करता, मैं जानता हूँ कि भगवान का अस्तित्व है।
I think I'm a very religious person. I think I believe in God as much as any man does. I don't only believe in God, I know there's God.

मुझे लोगों की आवाज़ें सुनना पसंद है, और मुझे लगता है कि एक इंसान जो कुछ कहता है, उससे साफ़ पता चल जाता है कि वह क्या सोच रहा है, और क्या वह झूठ बोल रहा है या नहीं।
I like the sound of people's voices, and I think what a man says can very well tell what he's thinking, whether he's lying or not.

सभी लेखक अतीत के बारे में लिखते हैं, और मैं उसे जीवंत बनाने की कोशिश करता हूँ ताकि आप देख सकें कि असल में क्या हुआ था।
All writers write about the past, and I try to make it come alive so you can see what happened.

अगर मुझे कोई एक सलाह देनी हो, तो मैं यही कहूँगा कि जो कुछ भी आप सुनते या देखते हैं, उसे कभी भी उसकी पहली झलक पर सच मानकर स्वीकार न करें। एक सामान्य नियम के रूप में, आप जितने अधिक सवाल पूछेंगे, उतना ही बेहतर होगा।
If I were to give one piece of advice, I would say to never accept anything that you hear or see at face value. As a general rule of thumb, then the more you question, the better.

जब मैं अकेले चर्च में बैठा होता हूँ, तो मुझे बुजुर्गों के गाने की आवाज़ सुनाई देती है। मैं उनके भजन सुन सकता हूँ और उनकी प्रार्थनाएँ सुन सकता हूँ, और कभी-कभी मैं भी उनके किसी गीत को गुनगुनाने लगता हूँ।
When I'm sitting in the church alone, I can hear singing of the old people. I can hear their singing and I can hear their praying, and sometimes I hum one of their songs.

मैं जितनी निष्पक्षता से हो सके, उतनी निष्पक्षता के साथ लिखता हूँ।
I write with as much objectivity as I can.

मैं एक लेखक बनना चाहता था। मैं अपने घर और मिट्टी के बारे में कुछ कहना चाहता था।
I wanted to be a writer. I wanted to say something about home.

लेकिन मान लीजिए कि वह (अपराध) था। एक पल के लिए मान लेते हैं कि वह (अपराध) था। उसकी जान लेने में कौन सा न्याय होगा? न्याय, महाशय? अरे, इस इंसान की जगह मैं तो एक सुअर को बिजली की कुर्सी पर बिठाना ज्यादा पसंद करूंगा।
But let us say he was (guilty). Let us for a moment say he was (guilty). What justice would there be to take his life? Justice, gentlemen? Why, I would just as soon put a hog in the electric chair as this.

मैं जिस चीज़ के बारे में लिखना चाहता था, मुझे उसे देखना, महसूस करना और उसके करीब रहना था।
I had to see and feel and be with the thing that I wanted to write about.

मैं ऐसी चीज़ें लिखने की कोशिश करता हूँ जो हर किसी को दिलचस्प लगें और वे पन्ने पलटने पर मजबूर हो जाएँ। आपके पास एक बढ़िया प्लॉट और दमदार कहानी होनी चाहिए।
I try to write something that would interest anybody and keep them turning the page. You must have a plot and good storyline.

आज मुझे जिस चीज़ की सबसे ज़्यादा कमी खलती है—हालाँकि अब मैं पहले की तरह चर्च नहीं जा पाता—वह है पुराने ज़माने का वह धर्म, वे पुराने भजन और वह पुरानी प्रार्थना, जिसे मैं बहुत प्यार करता हूँ। वही मेरे वजूद और मेरी लेखन शैली की असली ताक़त है।
What I miss today more than anything else - I don't go to church as much anymore - but that old-time religion, that old singing, that old praying which I love so much. That is the great strength of my being, of my writing.

मुझसे यह मत कहो कि मैं विश्वास करूँ। मुझसे यह मत कहੋ कि मैं उसी ईश्वर या उन क़ानूनों में विश्वास करूँ, जिन्हें मानने वाले ये हत्याएँ करते हैं। मुझसे यह मत कहो कि मैं यह मानूँ कि भगवान इस देश को आशीर्वाद दे सकते हैं और यहाँ लोगों का फ़ैसला उनके अपने हमजोली करते हैं। उसके हमजोसियों में से किसने उसका फ़ैसला किया? क्या मैं वहाँ था? क्या पादरी वहाँ था? क्या हैरी विलियम्स वहाँ था? क्या फैरेल जारो वहाँ था? क्या मेरी चाची थीं? क्या विवियन थी? नहीं, उसके हमजोसियों ने उसका फ़ैसला नहीं किया, और मैं इस पर विश्वास नहीं करूँगा।
Don't tell me to believe. Don't tell me to believe in the same God or laws that men believe in who commit these murders. Don't tell me to believe that God can bless this country and that men are judged by their peers. Who among his peers judged him? Was I there? Was the minister there? Was Harry Williams there? Was Farrell Jarreau? Was my aunt? Was Vivian? No, his peers did not judge him, and I will not believe.

मुझे अब तक यह भी नहीं पता कि शेरिफ़ मुझे उससे मिलने देगा भी या नहीं। और मान लो कि उसने मिलने दिया भी; तो फिर क्या? मैं उससे क्या कहूँ? क्या मैं जानता हूँ कि एक इंसान क्या होता है? क्या मैं जानता हूँ कि एक इंसान को कैसे मरना चाहिए? मैं तो अब तक यही ढूँढने की कोशिश कर रहा हूँ कि एक इंसान को कैसे जीना चाहिए। क्या मैं किसी ऐसे व्यक्ति को मरने का तरीक़ा बताऊँ जिसने कभी ढंग से जिया ही न हो?
I still don't even know if the sheriff will let me see him. And suppose he did; what then? What do I say to him? Do I know what a man is? Do I know how a man is supposed to die? I'm still trying to find out how a man should live. Am I supposed to tell someone how to die who has never lived?

हमने एक-दूसरे की तरफ़ देखा, और मैं उसकी उन बड़ी-बड़ी लाल आँखों में साफ़ देख सकता था कि वह चीखने-चिल्लाने वाला नहीं था। वह गुस्से से भरा हुआ था—और भला कौन उसे दोषी ठहराता?—पर वह बेवकूफ नहीं था। उसे मेरी ज़रूरत थी, और वह मुझे यहीं चाहता था, भले ही सिर्फ़ मेरा अपमान करने के लिए।
We looked at each other, and I could see in those big reddened eyes that he was not going to scream. He was full of anger - and who could blame him? - but he was no fool. He needed me, and he wanted me here, if only to insult me.

मैं जानता था कि मैं एक लेखक बनना चाहता हूँ और यह भी जानता था कि अगर मेरी पत्नी और परिवार हुआ, तो मैं किसी न किसी चीज़ की अनदेखी करूँगा, और मुझे डर था कि वह चीज़ मेरा लेखन न बन जाए।
I knew I wanted to be a writer and I knew if I had a wife and family, I would neglect something, and I was afraid it wouldn't be the writing.

मुझे लगता है कि मैंने सोलह साल की उम्र में गंभीरता से लिखना शुरू कर दिया था। मुझे लगा कि मैंने सोलह की उम्र में एक उपन्यास लिख लिया है और उसे न्यूयॉर्क भेज दिया! उन्होंने उसे वापस लौटा दिया क्योंकि वह उपन्यास था ही नहीं।
I suppose I started writing seriously at 16 years old. I thought I wrote a novel at 16 and sent it to New York! They sent it back because it wasn't novel.

अब बात करते हैं उस दोरंगी (मिश्रित नस्ल के) शिक्षक और मेरी। हम दोनों के बीच ज़रा भी प्यार नहीं था। यहाँ तक कि इज़्ज़त भी नहीं थी। अगर कुछ थे तो हम दुश्मन थे। वह मुझसे नफ़रत करता था, और मुझे यह बात पता थी, और वह जानता था कि मैं यह जानता हूँ। मैं उसे पसंद नहीं करता था, पर मुझे उसकी ज़रूरत थी; एक ऐसी बात जानने के लिए जो बाक़ी लोग या तो बता नहीं सकते थे या बताना नहीं चाहते थे।
Now, about that mulatto teacher and me. There was no love there for each other. There was not even respect. We were enemies if anything. He hated me, and I knew it, and he knew I knew it. I didn't like him, but I needed him, needed him to tell me something that none of the others could or would.

"किस लिए?" मैंने कहा। "किस लिए, ताँते लू? उसने मेरे साथ वैसा ही बर्ताव किया जैसा उसने उसके साथ किया था। वह चाहता है कि मैं ख़ुद को दोषी महसूस करूँ, ठीक वैसे ही जैसे वह चाहता है कि वह ख़ुद को दोषी महसूस करे। खैर, ताँते लू, मैं दोषी महसूस करने वाला नहीं हूँ। मैंने उसे वहाँ नहीं पहुँचाया। मैं अपनी तरफ़ से पूरी कोशिश करता हूँ कि उसके जैसे लोग वहाँ न पहुँचें। वह मुझे गिल्टी महसूस नहीं करवा पाएगा।"
"What for?" I said. "What for, Tante Lou? He treated me the same way he treated her. He wants me to feel guilty, just as he wants her to feel guilty. Well, I'm not feeling guilty, Tante Lou. I didn't put him there. I do everything I know how to do to keep people like him from going there. He's not going to make me feel guilty."

"तुम वापस जा रहे हो," उसने कहा। "ग्रैंड, तुम इस सबसे भाग नहीं सकते।"
"You going back," she said. "You ain't going to run away from this, Grant."
"You going back," she said. "You ain't going to run away from this, Grant."
