A review by classywords
Babel by R.F. Kuang

5.0

“Language was just difference, a thousand different ways of seeing, of moving through the world. No, a thousand worlds within one and translation a necessary endeavor however futile. To move between them.”

“revelation is always unimaginable, it shatters the world you know. The future is unwritten brimming with potential.”

“Victory is not assured. Victory may be in the portentous, but it must be urged there by violence, by suffering, by martyrs, by blood. Victory is wrought by ingenuity, persistence, and sacrifice. Victory is a game of inches of historical contingencies where everything goes right because they made it go right.”
