Effective translation of natural languages comes awfully close to requiring a sentient translator program.

I always love books that reference my field, NLP, especially when they’re ahead of their time!

“Be courageous, we say, but no one is courageous, as a sound we do not hear lifts the birds off the water.”
Ilya Kaminsky, Deaf Republic

“The body of the boy lies on the asphalt like a paperclip. The body of the boy lies on the asphalt like the body of a boy.”

Ivan Goncharov
“There are many husbands like Zahar in the world. A diplomatist will sometimes carelessly listen to his wife's advice, shrug his shoulders, and secretly write what she told him. A Government official will whistle and make a contemptuous grimace at his wife's chatter about some important affair - and the next day he will solemnly repeat this chatter to the Minister. These gentlemen treat their wives morosely or lightly, despising them, like Zahar, as mere women, or regarding them as a pleasant relaxation from the serious life of business.”
Ivan Goncharov, Oblomov

Ilya Kaminsky
“At the trial of God, we will ask: why did you allow all this? And the answer will be an echo: why did you allow all this?”
Ilya Kaminsky, Deaf Republic

“You pessimists always fall into the disillusion trap,” said the cheerful man cheerfully. “From one distance a thing looks bright. From another it looks dark. You think you’ve found the truth when you’ve replaced the cheerful view by the opposite, but true profundity blends all possible views, bright as well as dark.”
Alasdair Gray, Lanark
