Clive James quote

Question

Could somebody please improve/ correct my translation of this quote.

There is no reasoning someone out of a position that they have not reasoned themselves into.

No es posible a cambiar la opinión de una persona con razón cuándo no lo has llegado con razón.

Answer 1

I like this quote! It took me a minute to really understand it. Here is one tentative translation: No se puede razonar con alguien para que cambien su opinión cuando él no llegó a su opinión utilizando su razón. It's a little wordy, but I think it gets the idea across.

Yours is okay, but to use your format I would say "No es posible cambiar la opinion de una persona cuando esa no ha llegado con razon." - BigMike, Feb 20, 2013
