Translations of Van Gogh articles

Pieter Dorsman is making the effort and has translated a few sections of some articles by Theo van Gogh. Money quote:

'America is hated because it embodies the hope of people that yearn for a better life, to have meat everyday, but also to believe in the God they choose, or not.'

Amen.

(Which in no way is meant to imply I'm religious, because I'm not.)

The whole "or not" part is under attack by America's own fundamentalist extremists, however.

The money quote was posted by Pieter Dorsman but was a quote taken from Theo van Gogh's website. I was appalled when Theo was murdered but now that Dorsman has translated Theo's web site into English I am doubly appalled. Dorsman has done me a favor I can never repay. By his translation I have come to know Theo in death like I wish I had known him in life. van Gogh's irreverence masked a deeply moral man. I haven't had a hero since Hopalong Cassidy but I have one now.

Remember me?


Epibratie
"I believe in life. I believe in treasuring it as a mystery that will never be fully understood, as a sanctity that should never be destroyed, as an invitation to experience now what can only be remembered tomorrow. (...)
I believe in liberty. I believe that within every soul lies the capacity to reach for its own good, that within every physical body there endures an unalienable right to be free from coercion. (...)
I believe in the pursuit of happiness. Not its attainment, nor its final definition, but its pursuit. I believe in the journey, not the arrival; in conversation, not monologues; in multiple questions rather than any single answer."
Andrew Sullivan
