For these men know that, once ignorance is put aside, that wonderment would be taken away, which is the only means by which their authority is preserved.","author":"Baruch Spinoza","tags":["adoration","astonishment","ity","causation","cause","foolish","fools","gods","heresy","heretical","ignorance","impious","interpret","knowledge","miracles","mob","nature","philosopher","piety","preservation","stare","the-gods","thinking","truth","understanding","wonder"],"id":128478,"author_id":"Baruch+Spinoza"},{"text":"We are told that in translation there is no such thing as equivalence. Many times the translator reaches a fork in the translating road where they must make a choice in the interpretation of a word. And each time they make one of these choices, they are taken further from the truth. But what we aren’t told is that this isn’t a shortcoming of translation; it’s a shortcoming of language itself. As soon as we try to put reality into words, we limit it. Words are not reality, they are the cause of reality, and thus reality is always more. Writers aren't alchemists who transmute words into the aurous essence of the human experience. No, they are glassmakers. They create a work of art that enables us to see inside to help us understand. And if they are really good, we can see our own reflections staring back at us.","author":"Kamand Kojouri","tags":["alchemists","art","artists","artwork","aurous","choice","choose","chose","comprehend","equal","equivalence","equivalent","explain","explanation","fork","glass","glassmaker","gold","help","human-experience","interpret","interpretation","interpretation","interpreter","kamand","kamand-kojouri","kojouri","language","limit","limitation","linguistics","mirror","paraphrase","poets","portray","read","reading","reality","reflection","restate","reveal","road","shortcoming","simplify","speak","talk","told","translating","translation","translation","translator","transmute","truth","understand","words","write","writer","writers","writing","writing"],"id":132339,"author_id":"Kamand+Kojouri"},{"text":"Search for truth, not for meaning.

Peace is built on understanding, and wars are built on misunderstandings. Never underestimate the power of a single word, and never recklessly throw around words. One wrong word, or misinterpreted word, can change the meaning of an entire sentence and start a war.
