Translation is not a matter of words only; it is a matter of making intelligible a whole culture.

Anthony Burgess

 

Without translation I would be limited to the borders of my own country. The translator is my most important ally. He introduces me to the world.

Italo Calvino

 

Translation cannot be dissociated from the notion of progress; some even maintain that a society can be measured by the translation it accepts.

Jean-Francois Joly

 

Writers make national literature, while translators make universal literature.

José Saramago

 

Translators are the shadow heroes of literature, the often forgotten instruments that make it possible for different cultures to talk to one another, who have enabled us to understand that we all, from every part of the world, live in one world.

Paul Auster

  

Through the act of translation we break out of confinement and reach many other linguistic communities.

Ngugi wa Thiong’o

 

Say what we may of the inadequacy of translation, yet the work is and will always be one of the weightiest and worthiest undertakings in the general concerns of the world.

J. W. Goethe
