Thorsten J. Pattberg
“Few people realize that the Bible discourages people from studying foreign languages. They story of the tower of Babel informs us that there is one humanity (God's one), only that "our languages are confused." That has always meant that, say, any German philosopher could know exactly what the Chinese people were thinking, only that he couldn't understand them. So instead of learning the foreign language, he demanded a translation.”
― Thorsten J. Pattberg

“Literary translations construct cultural bridges and enlarge our horizons.”
