"Translating from one language to another, unless it is from Greek and Latin, the queens of all languages, is like looking at Flemish tapestries from the wrong side, for although the figures are visible, they are covered by threads that obscure them, and cannot be seen with the smoothness and color of the right side."

“Iâ€™m going to lie this one right on the line, right here, right now: Iâ€™m pro big pants. Strident feminism NEEDS big pants. Really big. Iâ€™m currently wearing a pair that could have been used as a fire blanket to put out the Great Fire of London at any point during the first 48 hours or so.
