History Quotes

कांग्रेस ने वास्तव में बाइबिल के मुद्रण और भुगतान को अधिकृत किया था। यह इस बात को दर्शाता है कि शुरुआती अमेरिकी समाज में बाइबिल को कितना उच्च स्थान प्राप्त था। हम अपने देश के संस्थापक दस्तावेजों, जैसे कि स्वतंत्रता की घोषणा (डिक्लेरेशन ऑफ इंडिपेंडेंस) और संविधान में बाइबिल के विचारों को पिरोया हुआ पाते हैं। स्वतंत्रता की घोषणा स्पष्ट रूप से कहती है "कि सभी मनुष्य समान बनाए गए हैं, कि उन्हें उनके रजनहार (निर्माता) द्वारा कुछ ऐसे अधिकार दिए गए हैं जिन्हें छीना नहीं जा सकता..." यह बाइबिल का एक विचार है जो सभी लोगों की गरिमा से उपजा है—भजन संहिता (पाम) 139:14—कि हम अद्भुत और भयप्रद रूप से रचे गए हैं।

Congress actually authorized the printing and payment for a Bible. That illustrates the high regard that the Bible was held in early American society. We see biblical ideas woven into the founding documents of our country like the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. The Declaration of Independence explicity states "that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights..." This is a biblical idea stemming from the dignity of all people - Psalm 139:14 - we are fearfully and wonderfully made.

अगर आप दुनिया की कहानी को एक विशाल फिल्म के रूप में कल्पना करें, तो बाइबिल—इसकी कहानी, इसका इतिहास और इसके प्रभाव—को न समझना ऐसा होगा जैसे किसी बेहतरीन फिल्म को देखें और उसके प्लॉट का एक हिस्सा ही गायब कर दें। ऐसा मुमकिन नहीं है। सच तो यह है कि आस्था की परंपरा से परे हर व्यक्ति बाइबिल के इन पहलुओं को जानने और समझने से लाभान्वित होता है। यह साहित्य, विज्ञान, कला आदि के ज्ञान को समृद्ध करता है। उदाहरण के लिए, साहित्य की किसी भी क्लासिक कृति को पढ़ना मुश्किल है जिसमें बाइबिल के संकेत या संदर्भ न दिखाई दें।

If you can imagine the story of the world as a giant movie, to not have some understanding of the Bible - its story, its history, and its impact - would be like watching a great movie and removing part of the plot. It can't be done. The real truth is that everyone regardless of faith tradition benefits from knowing and understanding these aspects of the Bible. It enhances one's knowledge of literature, science, art etc. It's difficult to read any classic work of literature for instance and not see biblical allusions.

यह हमारे लिए एक बहुत महत्वपूर्ण दौर था, क्योंकि भले ही हम कोई "पंक बैंड" नहीं थे और न ही उस सांचे में ढले थे, फिर भी हम उस दौर की बगावती और बेबाक आबोहवा से गहरे जुड़े हुए थे।

It was an important period for us, because even though we weren't a "punk band", and what became a model for a punk band, we were able to be dragged along by the spirit of that time.

हमारा मानना था कि हमारी सोच 'दादा' आंदोलन से जुड़ी है, लेकिन साथ ही इसने पंक (punk) संगीत का रूप ले लिया, जो उस समय के सामाजिक हालातों के प्रति एक विद्रोह था। यह हमारी सोच का भी एक हिस्सा था, और इसीलिए हम भी अनजाने में पंक की इस बयार में बहते चले गए।

I think we saw our reaction coming from Dada, but at the same time, it formed into punk, which was very much a reaction to the social conditions. That was part of it for us as well, and that's why we were kind of swept along with punk.

उस दौर में, शीत युद्ध की सोच हमारे भीतर पूरी तरह रची-बसी थी—युद्ध के बाद का माहौल और शीत युद्ध का असर। मुझे लगता है कि हम उसी झलकी को पेश कर रहे थे। यह दीवार के गिरने आदि से पहले की बात है।

In that period, we had the Cold War mentality imbued through us - the Post-war [environment] and the Cold War. I think we were reflecting some of that. This was before the Wall collapsed, etc.

हमारे देश में इस बात पर चर्चा होना बेहद जरूरी है कि रूस के प्रति अमेरिकी नीति क्या होनी चाहिए। हम यह झूठ बार-बार नहीं दोहरा सकते कि इस नए शीत युद्ध के एकमात्र दोषी पुतिन हैं। हमें रूस के प्रति अपनी नीति पर फिर से विचार करने की जरूरत है।

We desperately need in this country a discussion of American policy toward Russia. We can't keep saying an untruth, that this new Cold War is solely the fault of Putin. We need to rethink our policy toward Russia.

जॉन लुईस वाकई एक असाधारण इंसान हैं। सच कहूँ, तो बेहद खूबसूरत इंसान। मुझे पहली बार उनसे मिलने का मौका याद है। हम एक दृश्य की शूटिंग के बीच में थे और [सेल्मा के निर्देशक] आवा डूवेर्ने ने "कट" बोला, और तभी वह सचमुच वहाँ आ गए। वह बस चलते हुए अंदर आए। मैं तो बस अपनी जगह सुन्न रह गया। मैं उस अहसास को बयां नहीं कर सकता। किसी ऐसे व्यक्ति को देखना जो सचमुच एक जीता-जागता हीरो था। वह एक हीरो थे।

John Lewis is such a remarkable human being. Literally, such a beautiful human being. I remember the first time I met him. We were in the middle of a scene and [Selma director] Ava DuVernay calls, "Cut," and then he literally just came in. He just came walking in.I just froze. I can't explain the feeling. Seeing somebody who was literally a living hero. He was a hero.

शुरुआत में पश्चिम जर्मनी में भी लोग किसी न किसी रूप में समाजवाद चाहते थे।

Even in West Germany in the beginning, people wanted a kind of socialism.

मुझे पूरी उम्मीद थी कि जर्मनी के पूर्वी हिस्से में, जिसे अभी-अभी जर्मन डेमोक्रेटिक रिपब्लिक कहा जाने लगा था, आज़ादी और लोकतंत्र के साथ समाजवाद की एक व्यवस्था विकसित होगी।

I certainly hoped that in the Eastern part of Germany, what was just beginning to be called the German Democratic Republic, you would develop a system of socialism with freedom and democracy.

हम पूरी तरह से उम्मीद कर रहे थे कि पेरेस्त्रोइका सफल होगी और बदलाव आएंगे। हम शुरू سے ही जानते थे कि समाजवाद केवल एक निश्चित सीमा तक आज़ादी और लोकतंत्र के साथ ही फल-फूल सकता है।

We certainly hoped perestroika would win out and that there would be changes. We knew all along that socialism could flourish only with a certain amount of freedom and democracy.

पश्चिमी देश का एक लेखक मेरे पास आया और उसने पूछा कि इस प्रदर्शन में किसी ने भी जर्मन एकता की बात क्यों नहीं की? मैंने उससे कहा, क्योंकि यह हमारे एजेंडे में था ही नहीं। लोग तो एक अलग, बेहतर जीडीआर और एक बेहतर समाजवादी व्यवस्था चाहते थे।

A Western writer came up to me and said, how come nobody at this demonstration spoke of German unity? I told him, because it isn't on the agenda. People were interested in having another, better GDR, another, better socialism.

और ज़ाहिर है, मैं यह अच्छी तरह जानता था कि जर्मन लोग एक हैं और खुद को एक ही राष्ट्र का हिस्सा मानते हैं; इसलिए वे दीवार को एक थोपी हुईकैद मानते थे। और मेरा सोचना बिल्कुल सही था।

And also, of course, I knew that the German people, they're one, and would tend to consider themselves as one; and therefore they would consider the Wall as an enforced imprisonment. And I was right in thinking that way.

और ज़ाहिर है, पश्चिमी जर्मनी में इस बात की पूरी कोशिश की जाती थी कि पूरब से आने वाले लोगों को नौकरियाँ मिलें और उनका जीवन स्तर आरामदायक हो। यह शीत युद्ध का एक हिस्सा था — और शीत युद्ध जीतने वाले पक्ष की एक चाल थी।

And of course, in West Germany, they made every effort that people who came from the East would get jobs and would get a comfortable existence. That was part of the Cold War - and part of the winning side of the Cold War.

मानवीय चेहरे वाले समाजवाद के विचार का मैं पूरी तरह समर्थन कर सकता था, क्योंकि यह पहले दिन से ही मेरा अपना विचार था।

मैंने द्वितीय विश्व युद्ध के दौरान मनोवैज्ञानिक युद्ध का सामना किया है, इसलिए मैं अच्छी तरह पहचानता हूँ कि मनोवैज्ञानिक युद्ध क्या होता है।

नागरिक अधिकार आंदोलन के सबसे महत्वपूर्ण हिस्सों में से एक, जिसके बारे में लोग बात नहीं करते, वे थीं ये जन-सभाएँ। यह किसी "आंदोलन चर्च" जैसा है। यह आंदोलन के संगीत और चर्च का एक अनूठा संगम है। यही जन-सभाएँ थीं जहाँ लोगों को अगले दिन का सामना करने की ऊर्जा मिलती थी।

One of the most important parts of the civil rights movement that people don't talk about was these mass meetings. It's like "Movement Church." It's a combination of the music of the movement and the church. Those mass meetings are where people got the energy to go on to the next day.

आमतौर पर हम इसे इस रूप में देखते हैं, "अरे, मिसिसिपी में अश्वेत लोग वोट नहीं दे पा रहे थे क्योंकि उन्हें साक्षरता परीक्षा पास करनी पड़ती थी।" लेकिन फिल्म से आप जो एक बात सीखते हैं, वह यह है कि वोट देने की कोशिश करने के भी गंभीर परिणाम भुगतने पड़ते थे। वोट देने की कोशिश करने पर आपकी जान भी जा सकती थी। आपको नौकरी से भी निकाला जा सकता था और कई लोगों को निकाला भी गया, यही वजह है कि शुरुआत में बहुत कम अश्वेत मिसिसिपीवासियों ने रजिस्ट्रेशन कराने की कोशिश की। अगर आप वोट देने के लिए रजिस्ट्रेशन कराने की कोशिश करते, तो अखबारों में आपका नाम छाप दिया जाता था।

Usually we look at it like, "Oh, black people couldn't vote in Mississippi because they had to take a literacy test." But one of the things you learn in the film is that there were major consequences for even trying to vote. You could be killed for trying to vote. You could definitely be fired from your job and many were, which is why so few black Mississippians even attempted to register early on. They put your name in the newspaper if you tried to register to vote.

मुझे अखबार सचमुच बहुत पसंद हैं। वे डिस्पोजेबल होते हैं, जिन्हें फेंका जा सकता है। वे रीसायकल हो सकते हैं। वे बहुत आसानी से फट जाते हैं। वे आईपैड या किंडल जैसे नहीं हैं जिन्हें फेंका नहीं जा सकता और जो अंततः किसी तीसरी दुनिया के किसी किनारे पर कचरे का ढेर बन जाते हैं। और मुझे उनकी विरासत से प्यार है, जनसंचार के पूरे इतिहास से प्यार है। अखबारों ने दुनिया को एक ऐसी व्यवस्था से जहाँ केवल वर्ग और सामंतवाद हुआ करता था, बदलकर ऐसा बना दिया जहाँ आम लोग भी कम कीमत पर ऐसी जानकारी पा सकते थे जिससे वे जागरूक हो सकें।

I really love newspapers. They are disposable. They are recyclable. They fall apart so easily. They are not like iPads or Kindles that can't be disposed of and end up on some third-world shore. And I love the heritage of them, the whole history of mass communication. Newspapers changed the world from being a really class based, feudal system to people being able to cheaply get information that informed them.
