जिस तरह हजार साल पहले अटिला के नेतृत्व में हूणों ने एक ऐसा नाम कमाया था जिसे लोग आज भी याद रखते हैं, उसी तरह आपको चीन में जर्मनों का नाम इस प्रकार रोशन करना चाहिए कि कोई भी चीनी नागरिक किसी जर्मन की आँखों में आँखें डालकर देखने की हिम्मत न कर सके।

Just as the Huns under their king Attila created for themselves a thousand years ago a name which men still respect, you should give the name of German such cause to be remembered in China that no Chinaman will dare look a German in the face.

जर्मनी की महानता के कारण समुद्र के बिना उसका काम चलना असंभव है, लेकिन समुद्र यह भी साबित करता है कि दूरदराज और उस पार भी, जर्मनी और जर्मन सम्राट की सहमति के बिना अब कोई भी बड़ा फैसला नहीं लिया जा सकता।

Germany's greatness makes it impossible for her to do without the ocean, but the ocean also proves that even in the distance, and on its farther side, without Germany and the German Emperor, no great decision dare henceforth be taken.

This is a landmark work in the history of African American studies and American intellectual history. Writing with verve, Jackson brings to life a large cast of characters and traces an ongoing conversation among the writers and critics of this period. This book is likely to become a model for a new generation of scholars, both for the breadth of its engagement and the depth of its archival research.

19वीं सदी साम्राज्यों की सदी थी, 20वीं सदी राष्ट्र-राज्यों की सदी थी। 21वीं सदी शहरों की सदी होगी।

दुनिया भर के न्याय-प्रेमी डनबार-ओर्टिज़ के सच्चाई के प्रति उस अटूट संकल्प की सराहना करेंगे—एक ऐसी सच्चाई जो श्वेत-औपनिवेशिकवाद और नरसंहार को ठीक वहीं रखती है जहाँ उनकी जगह है: यानी संयुक्त राज्य अमेरिका के अस्तित्व की नींव के रूप में।

Justice-seekers everywhere will celebrate Dunbar-Ortiz's unflinching commitment to truth-a truth that places settler-colonialism and genocide exactly where they belong: as foundational to the existence of the United States.

औपनिवेशिकवाद वह घनी धुंध है जिसने हमारी कल्पनाओं को इस बात से अंधा कर दिया है कि हम कौन बन सकते थे, हमारी उस याद को मिटा दिया है जो बताती थी कि हम कभी कौन हुआ करते थे, और हमारे वर्तमान अस्तित्व को समझने की हमारी क्षमता को सुन्न कर दिया है।

Colonialism is the massive fog that has clouded our imaginations regarding who we could be, excised our memories of who we once were, and numbed our understanding of our current existence.

یاد رکھییں، یہ 1940 کی دہائی کی بات ہے، اور یہ مجسمہ سازی ایسی تھی جو شاید — میرے معاملے میں شائد یورپی اثرات سے نکلی تھی، جیسے [الлександр] آرچیپینکو اور اس قسم کی دوسری چیزیں، اور کچھ حد تک [जैक्स] لپشٹز سے بھی، اور میں ان چیزوں سے متاثر تھا اور ایسی کوشش کرتا تھا جو ان کے انداز کی نقل ہو۔

Remember, this is back in the 1940s, and it was sculpture which probably - in my instance probably came out of the European influence, [Alexander] Archipenko and things of that sort, [Jacques] Lipchitz to a certain extent, and I was influenced by those things and attempted to do work that emulated their style.

جہاں تک میرا تعلق ہے، جو بھی آدیواسی آگے بڑھ کر اس دو سو سالہ جشن کے لیے رکھی گئی رقم یا پیکیج کو قبول کرتا ہے، وہ درحقیقت خون کی کمائی قبول کر رہا ہے۔ ہمارے لوگوں میں اب بھی کوڑھ جیسی بیماریاں موجود ہیں اور ہمارے پاس سنگین مسائل ہیں۔ یہ مسائل ہمارے پیدا کردہ نہیں ہیں، یہ آسٹریلیا کی یورپی آبادی کے پیدا کردہ مسائل ہیں۔

As far as I'm concerned, any Aboriginal that gets out there and accepts money that has been put out as a package for this bicentenary is actually accepting blood money. We've still got people with leprosy and we still got tremendous problems. These problems have not been our problems, they're the problems of the European population of Australia.

हमें यह नहीं भूलना चाहिए कि ये पुरुष और महिलाएँ जो एलिस द्वीप के संकरे द्वारों से गुज़रती हैं, उम्मीद से भरी, उलझन में, गलतफहमियों के बंडलों के साथ जो उनकी पीठ पर लदे बड़े बोरों जितने ही भारी हैं - ये सीधे-साधे, खुरदरे हाथों वाले लोग हमारे वंशजों के पूर्व हमारे बच्चों के माता-पिता हैं।

We must not forget that these men and women who file through the narrow gates at Ellis Island, hopeful, confused, with bundles of misconceptions as heavy as the great sacks upon their backs these simple, rough-handed people are the ancestors of our descendants, the fathers and mothers of our children.

किसी भी विज्ञान के साथ एक बड़ी समस्या यह है कि जिन लोगों को अपने क्षेत्र के वैचारिक इतिहास का ज्ञान नहीं होता, वे बार-बार पहिये को नए सिरे से गोल के बजाय अंडाकार बनाने बैठ जाते हैं।

One major problem with any science is that people who don't know the conceptual history of their field go round re-inventing the elliptical wheel.

लुब्यांका की उस पुनर्शिक्षा के कारनामे को देखकर मुझे थोड़ा अश्चर्य हुआ। इसके साथ ही मुझे यह बात भी ज़्यादा स्पष्ट रूप से समझ आने लगी कि सर्वहारा वर्ग के लिए इतिहास को नए सिरे से लिखने का क्या मतलब होता है, और यह इंतज़ाम कैसे किया जाता होगा कि युवाओं को भगवान के बारे में कुछ भी सुनने को न मिले।

I marveled a bit at the feat Lubianka re-education. I also began to understand more clearly what was meant by rewriting history for the proletariat and how it could be arranged that young people would hear nothing whatsoever of God.

सेक्सुअल क्रांति ने सांस्कृतिक उथल-पुथल पैदा की, जिसकी 20वीं सदी में कोई दूसरी मिसाल नहीं मिलती। इतिहास में पहली बार महिलाओं की कामुकता को मान्यता मिली और उन्हें ऑर्गे्ज़्म का हकदार माना गया। सेक्सुअल "विकृतियों" से जुड़े लोगों, खासकर समलैंगिकों को आंशिक रूप से आज़ादी और अधिकार मिले।

The sexual revolution produced cultural convulsions that were unparalleled in the 20th century. The female sex was historically sexualized and required to have orgasms for the first time. Sexual "deviants," particularly homosexuals, achieved partial emancipation.

सोवियत काल की यादों और पुरानी व्यवस्था के प्रति नॉस्टैल्जिया का लोगों के बीच भारी समर्थन है। लेकिन अभिजात वर्ग में ऐसा नहीं है, और जहाँ तक मैं समझता हूँ, राष्ट्रपति की भी ऐसी कोई मंशा नहीं है। हमें कम्युनिस्ट युग के अवशेषों को ज़िंदा रखने में कोई दिलचस्पी नहीं है।

Soviet-era nostalgia has strong support among the people. But not among the elite and, in my opinion, not with the president. We are not interested in keeping remnants of the communist era alive.

सोवियत संघ ने पूरी दुनिया में साम्यवाद का निर्यात करने की कोशिश की थी। उसका क्या हस्र हुआ, हम सब जानते हैं। अब पश्चिम देश लोकतंत्र का निर्यात करने की कोशिश कर रहे हैं, यहाँ तक कि उन क्षेत्रों में भी जहाँ इसके लिए कोई पारंपरिक आधार ही नहीं है। इसका अंत कभी अच्छा नहीं हो सकता।

The Soviet Union attempted to export communism to the entire world. We know what came of that. Now the West is trying to export democracy, including to regions where there is no traditional foundation for it. That cannot end well.

मेरा टेलीविज़न मुझे सिखाता है कि सोवियत संघ में सब कुछ बहुत शानदार था। जिन कार्यक्रमों को मैं देखता हूँ, उनके अनुसार केजीबी और अधिकारी वर्ग फरिश्ते थे, और स्टालिन का दौर इतना जश्न से भरा था कि उस दौर के नायकों का जश्न आज भी मनाया जाना चाहिए।

My television teaches me that everything was wonderful in the Soviet Union. According to the programs I watch, the KGB and apparatchiks were angels, and the Stalin era was so festive that the heroes of the day must still be celebrated today.

केजबीडी (KGB) सोवियत संघ और सोवियत समाज के पूरे ढाँचे का एक अटूट हिस्सा था। हमारा मानना है कि सोवियत संघ और सोवियत समाज की जो भी उपलब्धियाँ थीं—1991 के बँटवारे से पहले की उनकी मुख्य उपलब्धियाँ—वे असल में केजीबी की भी मुख्य उपलब्धियाँ थीं, क्योंकि वह एक ही मकसद के लिए काम कर रहा था।

KGB was inseparable part of the Soviet Union and the whole structure of the Soviet society. We believe that the achievements of the Soviet Union and of the Soviet society, it's main achievements until the split in 1991, it was at the same time the main achievements of the KGB, because it was working for the same cause.

मुझे लगता है कि मैंने जिन चारों लैंड आर्टिस्ट्स की कला प्रदर्शित की, वे सभी लगभग एक ही समय के आसपास सक्रिय थे। और वे एक तरह से लैंड आर्ट के अगुआ या ध्वजवाहक थे। उन सभी ने बिल्कुल अलग-अलग शैलियों में काम किया। जाहिर है, बाद में कैलिफोर्निया में कई कलाकारों ने इस विधा में काम करना शुरू किया और अर्थवर्क्स की बाढ़ सी आ गई। लेकिन मेरा उससे कोई लेना-देना नहीं था।

I think the four land artists I showed all worked within a few years of each other. And they were standard bearers, I suppose, for land art. They each did very separate things. Apparently, later in California, a lot of artists started working in that medium and there was something of a rush of earthworks. But I wasn't involved with that.

कम्युनिस्टों का दावा है कि उन्होंने रूसी जनता को आज़ाद कराया था। फिर भी, जब महान देशभक्ति युद्ध शुरू हुआ, तो इन्हीं रूसियों ने विदेशी हमलावरों का स्वागत आंसुओं, फूलों और बेहद उत्साहपूर्ण आतिथ्य के साथ किया। ऐसी कौन सी परिस्थिति रही होगी कि वे हिटलर को भी अपना मसीहा और मुक्तिदाता मानने लगे?

The Communists claim that they liberated the Russian people. Yet, when the Great Patriotic War began, these same Russians greeted their foreign invaders with tears, with flowers and with enthusiastic hospitality. What can have brought them to the point at which they would greet even Hitler as their saviour and liberator?

मैंने अपने गुरुओं से जो सीखा है, वह यह है कि जब आप संगीत सुनते हैं, तो आप किसी व्यक्ति को, या कई लोगों को सुनते हैं, और उन पलों में आप उनके बारे में सब कुछ सुन लेते हैं। वे खुद को इस तरह से उजागर करते हैं जो किसी और तरीके से संभव नहीं है, और इसी वजह से इसमें ऐतिहासिक सच्चाइयाँ भी शामिल होती हैं। मेरे लिए, यही सबसे महत्वपूर्ण बात है। इसे कोई पाद-टिप्पणी (फुटनोट) या आखिरी अध्याय नहीं होना चाहिए। यह सुनने की कला पर लिखी जाने वाली किसी किताब का पूरा थीसिस होना चाहिए।

What I've learned from my gurus is that when you hear music, you hear a person, or you hear people, and you hear everything about them in those moments. They reveal themselves in ways that cannot be revealed any other way, and it contains historical truths because of that. To me, that is the most important thing. It shouldn't be a footnote, or the last chapter. It should be the complete thesis about a book on listening.

मैं आपके सामने संघर्ष के प्रतीक के रूप में 'V' अक्षर का प्रस्ताव रख रहा हूँ, क्योंकि फ्रेंच में 'Victoire' (विजय) और फ्लेमिश में 'Vrijheid' (स्वतंत्रता) का पहला अक्षर 'V' है... वह विजय जो हमें हमारी आज़ादी वापस दिलाएगी, हमारे अच्छे दोस्तों अंग्रेजों की विजय। विजय के लिए उनका अंग्रेजी शब्द भी 'V' से शुरू होता है। जैसा कि आप देख सकते हैं, सब कुछ एकदम सही बैठता है।

I am proposing to you as a rallying emblem the letter V, because V is the first letter of the words 'Victoire' in French, and 'Vrijheid' in Flemish... the Victory which will give us back our freedom, the Victory of our good friends the English. Their word for Victory also begins with V. As you see, things fit all round.
