“Translation, from time immemorial, has been the facilitator of peace. Translation makes possible communication, which turn makes possible the kind of diplomacy, trade, and cooperation between foreign peoples that brings wealth and prosperity to all.’ (…) ‘And you, like Psammetichus’s boys, are the tongues that will speak this vision of global harmony into being.’ (…) ‘ After all, we’re here to make the unknown known, to make the other familiar. We’re here to make magic with words.’ - Professor Playfair, Page 81 from R.F. Kuang, Babel”
