Quotes from Peter Newmark

A satisfactory translation is not always possible, but a good translator is never satisfied with it. It can usually be improved. (Newmark)

There is no such thing as a perfect, ideal, or 'correct' translation. A translator is always trying to extend his knowledge and improve his means of expression; he is always pursuing facts and words.

Translation is like love; I do not know what it is but I think I know what it is not.
