“That's just what translation is, I think. That's all speaking is. Listening to the other and trying to see past your own biases to glimpse what they're trying to say. Showing yourself to the world, and hoping someone else understands.”
― R.F. Kuang, Babel

“I think it’s the only form of hope we have. For our survival, I mean. What good is any other virtue without love?

In literature love is a weakness. Othello is easily manipulated by Iago because of his love for Desdemona. Anna Karenina throws herself under a train. Othello places his trust in Iago, not Desdemona. Anna Karenina’s society does not allow her to be with Vronsky.

Love is not the weakness. People get in its way. People are weak and perilous, not love.”
― Lily King, Heart the Lover
