Κάποιος θα έλεγε ότι πρόκειται για μαθήματα επιθετικής αλαζονείας.

Εγώ λέω ότι πρόκειται για μαθήματα επιθετικής αυτοάμυνας .

WWHS

I don’t have dreams, I have goals

According to me is the only “according to” that matters

Money did not give me the attitude, the attitude gave me the money

It’s going to happen because I am going to make it happen

Loyalty is a two way street and you ran me off the road

You always have a choice

I’m working on myself, for myself, by myself

They think you care they’ll walk all over you

How others see you is not important. How you see yourself is everything

Anyone can do my job but no one can be me

Get your shit together. Stop apologizing and start intimidating

WWHD

I don’t play the odds, I play the man.

When you’re backed against the wall, break the goddamn thing down.

Win a no-win situation by rewriting the rules

You do what they say or they shoot you, right? Wrong! You take the gun. You pull out a bigger gun or you call their bluff or you do one of another 146 other things

When you screwed up I didn’t put that on you, I took it on myself because that’s my job

Work until you no longer have to introduce yourself

Don’t raise your voice, improve your argument

You wanna lose small, I wanna win big

I don’t get lucky. I make my own luck

May God have mercy upon my enemies because I won’t

I refuse to answer that on the grounds that I don’t want to

 

CATCHER IN THE RYE : Ο ΔΕΚΑΕΞΑΧΡΟΝΟΣ HOLDEN CAULFIELD

Τον Holden Caulfield τον τρελαίνουν οι κάλπικοι άνθρωποι, οι κάλπικες προθέσεις τους, οι κάλπικες επιλογές τους και οι κάλπικες πράξεις τους, ανάμεσά τους και το κάλπικο σχολικό σύστημα. Δεν είναι επαναστάτης, θέλει να σωθεί ακέραιος και να σώσει ό,τι αξίζει να σωθεί.

Δεν μετέφρασα τον τίτλο του βιβλίου, που βγαίνει από το παρακάτω απόσπασμα, όπως δεν θα μεταφράσω και το απόσπασμα. Γιατί κάθε μετάφρασή τους μέχρι σήμερα απλά δολοφόνησε και τον λόγο και την ιδέα και τον συμβολισμό.

                                                        

 σελ. 93: Συζητά ο αφηγητής, Holden Caulfield

    με την αδελφή του, την μικρή Phoebe

"You know what I'd like to be?" I said. "You know what I'd like to be? I mean if I had my goddam choice? You know that song 'If a body catch a body comin' through the rye'? I'd like…"

"It's If a body meet a body coming through the rye!" old Phoebe said. "It's a poem. By Robert Burns."

"I thought it was If a body catch a body" I said. "Anyway, I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. Thousands of little kids, and nobody's around, nobody big I mean, except me. And I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff. I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That's all I'd do all day. I'd just be the

catcher in the rye and all. I know it's crazy, but that's the only thing I'd really like to be. I know it's crazy."            

Old Phoebe didn't say anything for a long time. Then, when she said

something, all she said was, "Daddy's going to kill you!"
