R.F. Kuang
“But what is the opposite of fidelity?' asked Professor Playfair. He was approaching the end of his dialitic; now he needed only to draw it to a close with a punch. 'Betrayal. Translation means doing violence upon the original, it means warping and distorting it for foreign, unintended eyes. So, where does that leave us? How can we conclude except by acknowledging that an act of translation is always an act of betrayal?”
R.F. Kuang, Babel

Dan    Brown
“The human mind has a primitive ego defense mechanism that negates all realities that produce too much stress for the brain to handle. It’s called Denial.”
Dan Brown, Inferno

Shirley Jackson
“Why do people want to talk to each other? I mean, what are the things people always want to find out about other people?”
Shirley Jackson, The Haunting of Hill House

R.F. Kuang
“So, you see, translators do not so much deliver a message as the rewrite the original. And herein lies the difficulty - rewriting is still writing, and writing always reflects the authors ideology and biases.”
R.F. Kuang, Babel

Dan    Brown
“The decisions of our past are the architects of our present.”
Dan Brown, Inferno
