R.F. Kuang
“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

Kerri Maniscalco
“acta non verba; actions, not words”
Kerri Maniscalco, Kingdom of the Cursed

“I will not appear weak for you to maintain strength.”
Kerri Maniscalco, Kingdom of the Cursed

R.F. Kuang
“Translation means doing violence upon the original, means warping and distorting it for foreign, unintended eyes. So then where does that leave us? How can we conclude, except by acknowledging that an act of translation is then necessarily always an act of betrayal?”
R.F. Kuang, Babel

“But I’m begging you, Violet. Don’t offer me your body unless you’re offering me everything. I want you more than I want to fuck you. I want those three little words back.”
Rebecca Yarros, Iron Flame
