Quotes by Daniel Hahn (?)

“Craft, unlike inspiration, is explicable, and hence learnable. Its moments can be slowed down, isolated into discrete choices. One choice after another, one word after another, watching all the moving parts doing their thing, even when you’re working with a tool as maddeningly fiddly as language.”
― Daniel Hahn, Catching Fire: A Translation Diary
