True art selects and paraphrases, but seldom gives a verbatim translation. - Thomas Bailey Aldrich
I was always interested in French poetry sort of as a sideline to my own work, I was translating contemporary French poets. That kind of spilled out into translation as a way to earn money, pay for food and put bread on the table. - Paul Auster
The original is unfaithful to the translation. - Jorge Luis Borges
Translation is at best an echo. - George Borrow
