“We are told that in translation there is no such thing as equivalence. Many times the translator reaches a fork in the translating road where they must make a choice in the interpretation of a word. And each time they make one of these choices, they are taken further from the truth. But what we aren’t told is that this isn’t a shortcoming of translation; it’s a shortcoming of language itself. As soon as we try to put reality into words, we limit it. Words are not reality, they are the cause of reality, and thus reality is always more. Writers aren't alchemists who transmute words into the aurous essence of the human experience. No, they are glassmakers. They create a work of art that enables us to see inside to help us understand. And if they are really good, we can see our own reflections staring back at us.”

“You can be the sweetest person on earth but giving too much without receiving can be counterproductive in other areas of your life. Sometimes you give too much advice and expect it to be taken because, according to you, it is the right thing to do. One of the challenges for givers is that they feel good about giving and bad about receiving, which could portray them as hard to live with sometimes.”
