“Be as vigilantly on guard against translating such a sentence into the passive voice as you would against committing murder.”
Jay Rubin, Making Sense of Japanese: What the Textbooks Don't Tell You

“The bones came jumbled together from the kitchen... there was no way of telling my parents from my Brothers and Sisters. I put them all in the same urn. Sometimes, late at night, I hold them in my hands and cry.”
Jay Rubin, The Penguin Book of Japanese Short Stories

“Aus irgendeinem Grund ist das, was mich berührt, immer etwas, das ich nicht verstanden habe.”
Jay Rubin, Haruki Murakami and the Music of Words
