Bulgarians Quotes

• Al final les ganamos con unos vaqueros Levi's 501. Setenta y dos años de adoctrinamiento y propaganda comunista fueron ahogados por un Walkman Sony de tres onzas. Un enorme sistema totalitario... se ha puesto de rodillas porque nadie quiere llevar zapatos búlgaros. Ahora almuerzan y somos el número uno del planeta.

• The hopelessness of the Turkish Government should make me witness with delight its being swept out of the countries which it tortures. Next to the Ottoman Government nothing can be more deplorable and blameworthy than jealousies between Greek and Slav and plans by the States already existing for appropriating other territory. Why not Macedonia for the Macedonians as well as Bulgaria for the Bulgarians and Serbia for the Serbians?

• Las resacas son una vívida forma de venganza. Anoche mi apartamento se convirtió en el escenario de un pequeño e introvertido festival de chardonnay. Un melancólico coro de búlgaros amenizaba la velada, a través de unos auriculares que acabaron irremediablemente enredados bajo la cama. Una parte de mí se limitaba a mirar. La otra parte estaba al mando.

• Bulgarians eat tarator every single day in summer. They think of it as salad although we'd call it a soup. You can make it as thick or thin as you like depending on how much water you add. It's very practical in summer because yogurt cools the body faster than water, but the water hydrates you.

• Americans and Englishmen, when they become acquainted with the Balkans, feel an astonished contempt when they study the mutual enmities of Bulgarians and Serbs, of Hungarians and Rumanians. It is evident to them that these enmities are absurd and that the belief of each little nation in its own superiority has no objective basis. But most of them are quite unable to see that the national pride of a Great Power is essentially as unjustifiable as that of a little Balkan country.

• If my novel gets any attention in Bulgaria, it will be as a scandal: a book about a teacher at a famous school and his relationship with a prostitute. I doubt very much it will be evaluated on its merits as literature. If Bulgarian were the book's only language, that would be painful and limiting to me as a writer. Since my book also exists in English - where it isn't scandalous at all - I feel comfortable with the possibility of scandal.

• Me encantan los Juegos Olímpicos. Me encanta la idea de que algo suceda cada cuatro años. Siempre he sentido amor por Bulgaria, y siempre he sido búlgaro. Eso también forma parte de las razones por las que quiero participar. Sé que es duro para el calendario, pero al mismo tiempo, son los Juegos Olímpicos.

• We negotiated the construction of a gas pipeline system along the bottom of the Black Sea to Bulgaria. We signed certain treaties of a technical nature, contracts for laying the gas pipeline. And then Bulgaria created such conditions that the project's implementation became impossible, which was obviously against its own national interests. The former Bulgarian leadership was, in fact, aware of that and acknowledged it. But we trusted them when we were launching that project. We sustained losses amounting to millions, several million dollars. We would not want to get into such situations.

• I would like travelers, especially American travelers, to travel in a way that broadens their perspective, because I think Americans tend to be some of the most ethnocentric people on the planet. It's not just Americans, it's the big countries. It's the biggest countries that tend to be ethnocentric or ugly. There are ugly Russians, ugly Germans, ugly Japanese and ugly Americans. You don't find ugly Belgians or ugly Bulgarians, they're just too small to think the world is their norm.

• Me gustaría saber qué es peor: ser violado cien veces por piratas, que te corten una nalga, correr el guante de los búlgaros, ser azotado y ahorcado en un auto-da-fe, ser disecado y tener que remar en una galera -en resumen, sufrir todas las miserias que hemos padecido cada uno de nosotros- o simplemente quedarnos aquí sentados sin hacer nada...". Es una pregunta difícil -dijo Cándido-.
