„Is it not strange, …
... that a literal translation is almost always a bad one?
And yet everything can be translated well.
From this one can see what it really means
to understand a language entirely;
it means to wholly understand the people who speak it.”
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (1742 - 1799),
German aphorist and physicist
„We understand the people who speak the language,
as we ourselves, as native speakers, are the people!”
