Translation Quote

"Translation is so far removed from being the sterile equation of two dead languages that of all literary forms it is the one charged with the special mission of watching over the maturing process of the original language and the birth pangs of its own."

Walter Benjamin, "The Task of the Translator" (translated by Harry Zohn).
