“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

“Fire and water looked so lovely together. It was a pity they destroyed each other by nature.”
R.F. Kuang, The Dragon Republic
