"Here was an artist who had dined with Van Gogh and argued with Cézanne.Who had expanded the boundaries of paint and colour and light itself.So Joseph was prepared to expose himself to all the slings and arrows, the tirades and the tempests,the bursts of anger and the wild swings of mood.He would face all of it, just for a chance to meet the man sitting in front of him now.The man who had made him see the world anew."

“Words and phrases you think are carved into your bones can disappear in no time.”
R.F. Kuang, Babel

“That's the beauty of learning a new language. It should feel like an enormous undertaking. It ought to intimidate you. It makes you appreciate the complexity of the ones you know already.”
R.F. Kuang, Babel

“İnsan yapısındaki çelişkiler, onun ne ölüme ne de sonsuzluğa bir türlü dayanamadığını gösteriyor. Sonsuzluk da ölüm kadar ürkütücü bir gerçektir.”
Oğuz Atay, Tutunamayanlar

Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
“Accursed creator! Why did you form a monster so hideous that even you turned from me in disgust? God, in pity, made man beautiful and alluring, after his own image; but my form is a filthy type of yours, more horrid even from the very resemblance. Satan had his companions, fellow devils, to admire and encourage him, but I am solitary and abhorred.”
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, Frankenstein

R.F. Kuang
“There was no innate, perfectly comprehensible language; there was no candidate, not English, not French, that could bully and absorb enough to become one. Language was just difference. A thousand different ways of seeing, of moving through the world. No, a thousand worlds within one. And translation - a necessary endeavour, however futile, to move between them”
R.F. Kuang, Babel
