Translation Quotations
Poetry is what gets lost in translation.
Robert Frost
Dancing is the loftiest, the most moving, the most beautiful of the arts, because it is no mere translation or abstraction from life; it is life itself.
Henry Ellis
The original is unfaithful to the translation.
Jorge Luis Borges
Prayer is translation. A man translates himself into a child asking for all there is in a language he has barely mastered.
Leonard Cohen
If the dream is a translation of waking life, waking life is also a translation of the dream.
Rene Magritte
Translation is the art of failure.
Umberto Eco
As far as modern writing is concerned, it is rarely rewarding to translate it, although it might be easy. Translation is very much like copying paintings.
Boris Pasternak
I was always interested in French poetry sort of as a sideline to my own work, I was translating contemporary French poets. That kind of spilled out into translation as a way to earn money, pay for food and put bread on the table.
Paul Auster
What is lost in the good or excellent translation is precisely the best.
Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
I did not have a very literary background. I came to poetry from the sciences and mathematics, and also through an interest in Japanese and Chinese poetry in translation.
