Walter Benjamin quote: "The only way of knowing a person is to love them without hope."
The only way of knowing a person is to love them without hope. Walter Benjamin
Fragments of a vessel which are to be glued together must match one another in the smallest details, although they need not be like one another. In the same way a translation, instead of resembling the meaning of the original, must lovingly and in detail incorporate the original's mode of signification, thus making both the original and the translation recognizable as fragments of a greater language, just as fragments are part of a vessel. Walter Benjamin
