“We don’t have to fall into the same category to be of equal value.”

“Language was just difference. A thousand different ways of seeing, of moving through the world. No; a thousand worlds within one. And translation – a necessary endeavour, however futile, to move between them.”
― R.F. Kuang, Babel

― R.F. Kuang, Babel
