Not everyone who knows how to write can be a writer. Not everyone who knows two languages can be a translator.

To deny access to translation and interpreting services oppresses human rights and violates laws.

নক্ষত্রপুঞ্জের মতো জলজ্বলে পতাকা উড়িয়ে আছো আমার সত্তায়।
মমতা নামের প্রুত প্রদেশের শ্যামলিমা তোমাকে নিবিড়
ঘিরে রয় সর্বদাই। কালো রাত পোহানোর পরের প্রহরে
শিউলিশৈশবে 'পাখী সব করে রব' ব'লে মদনমোহন
তর্কালঙ্কার কী ধীরোদাত্ত স্বরে প্রত্যহ দিতেন ডাক। ...তুমি আর আমি,

অবিচ্ছিন্ন পরস্পর মমতায় লীন,
ঘুরেছি কাননে তাঁ নেচে নেচে, যেখানে কুসুম-কলি সবই
ফোটে, জোটে অলি ঋতুর সংকেতে।

আজন্ম আমার সাথী তুমি,
আমাকে স্বপ্নের সেতু দিয়েছিলে গ'ড়ে পলে পলে,
তাইতো ত্রিলোক আজ সুনন্দ জাহাজ হয়ে ভেড়ে
আমারই বন্দরে।

Shamsur Rahman

Words bend our thinking to infinite paths of self-delusion, and the fact that we spend most of our mental lives in brain mansions built of words means that we lack the objectivity necessary to see the terrible distortion of reality which language brings.

That there should be a reality hidden behind appearances is, after all, quite possible; that language might render such a thing would be an absurd hope.

How astonishing it is that language can almost mean,
and frightening that it does not quite.

My Japanese isn’t much better today, but at least now I appreciate my duality more than when I was a punk kid.

Words stand between silence and silence: between the silence of things and the silence of our own being. Between the silence of the world and the silence of God. When we have really met and known the world in silence, words do not separate us from the world nor from other men, nor from God, nor from ourselves because we no longer trust entirely in language to contain reality.

Thomas Merton

Contentment can only be found in not envying others or comparing yourself to them but in being satisfied with what you have.

The sacrifices of time and money that Chinese friends will make for one another often go far beyond what is expected or accepted in Western society.
