History Quotes

लोकतंत्र के जनक तो पैट्रिस लुमुम्बा हैं, जो हमारी आज़ादी के बाद देश के पहले प्रधानमंत्री थे। उनकी ऐसी परिस्थितियों में हत्या कर दी गई थी जिन्हें आज तक कोई ठीक से समझ नहीं पाया है। इसलिए, मेरे लिए यह ख़िताब कोई बहुत बड़ी चीज़ नहीं है। इतिहास में आपको लोकतंत्र के जनक के रूप में भी याद रखा जा सकता है, और सिर्फ पद छोड़ने भर से देश में अराजकता फैलाने वाले के रूप में भी।

The father of democracy is Patrice Lumumba, the first prime minister after our independence, who was assassinated under conditions that to this day nobody can clearly understand. So, for me, this title is not the most important thing. You can go down in history as the father of democracy, but you can also go down as the person who brought about chaos just by stepping down.

मैं कभी अपनी जड़ों को नहीं छोड़ना चाहता। मैं अपने अतीत और पेंटिंग के इतिहास को वह महत्व देना चाहता हूँ जिसका वह हकदार है, जिसमें रेम्ब्रायड जैसे महान कलाकार भी शामिल हैं, जिन्होंने कैनवास की सतह को पारदर्शी परतों के साथ गढ़ा था।

कविता की जीवंतता और उसकी सर्वग्राह्यता में कुछ ऐसा खास और जरूरी है जो उसके बिना अधूरा है। साहित्य के इतिहास को देखें तो होमर से लेकर एश्बेरी तक कविता ही वह विधा है जो हमेशा से कायम रही है - इसके अलावा साहित्य का कोई भी रूप इतने लंबे समय तक नहीं टिक पाया। उपन्यास तो महज दो-तीन सौ साल पुराने हैं... और हाँ, अगर हम पीछे मुड़कर देखें तो यह मुख्यधारा का हिस्सा रहा है, क्योंकि किसी खास पल में क्या चल रहा था, उसे बयां करने के लिए हम अक्सर कविता का ही सहारा लेते हैं क्योंकि यह उस अनुभव को बेहद संक्षिप्त और गहरे अर्थ के साथ समेट देती है।

There is something essential and necessary about the immediacy and democracy of poetry. If you look at the history of literature, poetry is the one enduring genre from Homer to Ashbery - no other literary form has lasted as long. The novel is only two or three hundred years old... And yes, it's mainstream if we look back, we often turn to poetry to encapsulate what was going on in a particular moment because it crystalizes the experience in a very condensed and meaningful way.

यह सोचकर हैरानी होती है कि कोई यह कह सकता है कि ओबामा ने हमें बाँटा, जबकि रिपब्लिकन नेतृत्व ने शुरुआत में ही यह कह दिया था कि वे उनके हर कदम को रोक देंगे—और वे इसमें काफी हद तक सफल भी रहे, लेकिन वे उन्हें पूरी तरह रोकने में नाकामयाब रहे। इसलिए उनकी कड़ी मेहनत के लिए ईश्वर का शुक्र है।

Just the thought of anybody saying that Obama was the one who divided us when the Republican leadership started out saying we're going to block everything he tries to do - and they were very successful at that, but they couldn't keep him from doing everything. So thank God for his hard work.

लोग अमेरिका में हमारे द्वारा रीतियों और धुनों के इस महान भंडार—केकवॉक, वन-स्टेप, बूगी-वूगी, कंट्री और वेस्टर्न—से जल्द ही रूबरू होने वाले हैं। इनमें से एक परंपरा से मेरा भी थोड़ा बहुत जुड़ाव रहा है।

न्यू testament (नया नियम) की पुस्तकों के परिणामी पाठ को संशय की दृष्टि से देखना प्राचीन काल के पूरे साहित्य को अंधकार में धकेलने जैसा है, क्योंकि प्राचीन काल का कोई भी अन्य दस्तावेज़ ग्रंथ सूची के लिहाज से न्यू टेस्टामेंट जितना अच्छी तरह प्रमाणित नहीं है।

56 ईस्वी में [प्रेरित] पौलुस ने लिखा था कि 500 से अधिक लोगों ने पुनर्जीवित यीशु को देखा था और उनमें से अधिकांश अभी भी जीवित थे (1 कुरिन्थियों 15:6)। यह बात विश्वसनीयता की सीमा से परे है कि शुरुआती ईसाई ऐसी कहानीगढ़ सकते थे और फिर उन लोगों के बीच इसका प्रचार कर सकते थे जो यीशु के शरीर को पेश करके इसे आसानी से गलत साबित कर सकते थे।

In 56 A.D. [the apostle] Paul wrote that over 500 people had seen the risen Jesus and that most of them were still alive (1 Corinthians 15:6ff.).

नई बाइबिल का अलौकिक क्राइस्ट, रूढ़िवादी ईसाई धर्म का देवता, मर चुका है। लेकिन पुरोहितवाद जीवित है और मानवता के आम लोगों को डराने और गुलाम बनाने के लिए इस मृत देवता के भूत को हवा में खड़ा करता है। क्राइस्ट के नाम ने किसी भी अन्य नाम की तुलना में अधिक अत्याचार, युद्ध और दुख दिए हैं। सबसे काले अन्याय आज भी इसी से प्रेरित होते हैं। किशिनेव, ओडेसा और बियालिस्टोक से उठी दर्द की चीखें आज भी हमारे कानों में गूँजती हैं।

The supernatural Christ of the New Testament, the god of orthodox Christianity, is dead. But priestcraft lives and conjures up the ghost of this dead god to frighten and enslave the masses of mankind. The name of Christ has caused more persecutions, wars, and miseries than any other name has caused. The darkest wrongs are still inspired by it. The wails of anguish that went up from Kishenev, Odessa, and Bialystok still vibrate in our ears.

मुझे किसी तरह ऐसा महसूस हुआ कि अगर फॉक्स टालबोट के पास थोड़ा और समय और चित्रकला का हुनर होता, तो वह अपनी दो तस्वीरों के बीच के अंतराल को भर देते और एक पूरा पैनोरमा तैयार कर लेते। आज, 163 साल बाद, मैं उनके इस महान आविष्कार का उपयोग उस क्षणभंगुर छवि को कैद करने और उसे हमेशा के लिए अमर बना देने के उनके उस युवाकालीन सपने को आगे बढ़ाने में सक्षम रहा हूँ। ऐसा करके, शायद मैंने इस असाधारण जगह की आत्मा में थोड़ा सा योगदान और दे दिया हो।

In doing so, I may also have added another little bit to the soul of this extraordinary place.
