Ние сме онова, което прави от нас любовта. Срещне те стар познат и се провикне: - Какво става с тебе? Не мога да те позная! Ние сме онова, което кара другите да кажат: - Не си ти! Ние сме онова, което кара самите нас да се изплашим: - Какво става с мене? Не мога да се позная! Всичко онова, което ни сковава в собствени граници, не сме ние. Ние сме, когато станем своята противоположност. Когато се изскубнем от верижката и изненадаме себе си. Ние сме онова, което прави от нас любовта. ↗

Leather bindings sent me into ecstasy. I even loved to gaze at a closed book and daydream about the possibilities inside. ↗

Love and translation look alike in their grammar. To love someone implies transforming their words into ours. Making an effort to understand the other person and, inevitably, to misinterpret them. To construct a precarious language together. ↗
