“Living...... Means having bonds with others. Paying attention to someone. Loving someone. Hating someone. Having fun being with someone. Taking someone’s hand. That’s what it means to live. If you’re all alone, you cant tell that you exist. Your relationship with others, is what defines being alive. I know my mind exists, since I can interact with others. I know my body exists, because others touch me. That’s where the purpose of being alive comes from. Just like we’ve been chosen to live out this moment here and now.”
― Yoru Sumino, I Want to Eat Your Pancreas

“ ...اینکه می گویم مترجم نباید دیده شود وقتی به ترجمه ی ادبی می رسیم ممکن است حکم بی رحمانه ای باشد. شاید تسکین این درد این است که مترجم بداند در کار بسیار مهمی دخالت کرده است. او در تب و تاب و شور آفرینش با مؤلف و نویسنده وارد مشارکت شده است. مثل آهنکاری که در ساختن یک بنای فخیم معماری از او کمک بخواهیم اما بعد از اتمام کار دیگر تیرآهن ها را نمی بینیم. ترجمه به نظر من چنین سهمی از آفرینش می گیرد. یک چیزهایی از آفرینش در او هست... منتها اصل قضیه به نظر من این است که ترجمه آفرینش نیست. ترجمه مشارکت دورادور در اثری ست که قبلاً آفریده شده. اینجاست که بحث فنی آن پیش می آید. یعنی ترجمه یک کار بسیار دقیق فنی در انتقال یک اثر آفریده شده است. این امر دوقطبی بودن یا دولبه بودن کار ترجمه را نشان می دهد... یعنی شما از یک طرف در یک اثر آفرینشی دخالت دارید و از طرف دیگر باید هرچه کمتر دیده شوید. دلداری ای که به مترجم می شود داد این است که در یک کار بزرگ مشارکت دارد و دارد در کار سترگی دخالت می کند. بنابراین هرقدر فروتنی نشان بدهد باز هم از باد آن آفرینش اصلی چیزی به او می رسد.”
― مهدی سحابی
