“Languages differ essentially in what they must convey and not in what they may convey.”

⸻Roman Jakobson

“I want translations with copious footnotes, footnotes reaching up like skyscrapers to the top of this or that page so as to leave only the gleam of one textual line between commentary and eternity.”

⸻Vladimir Nobokov

“It is impossible to translate poetry”

⸻Arthur Schopenhauer
