This quotation, written in the context of a discussion of language in worldbuilding, helps me to understand why I find it necessary to construct languages myself.

We found this Italian translation of Tolkien’s ‘Tree and Leaf’ in our Airbnb in Palermo.

"My loneliness does not pain me, because I know my redeemer will finally rise above the dust.... What will he be like? ... A bull or a man? A bull with the face of a man? Or will he be like me, [a man with the face of a bull]?"

  • Jorge Luis Borges, "The House of Asterion"

🎨​ George Frederic Watts

A beautifully stated observation from a game whose rules are a work of literature in their own right.

The dedication of the book I’ve just started reading. By an insane coincidence, today (September 26) is the anniversary of the day Stanislav Petrov saved the world. Bonus points if you tell me what book it is!

This doesn’t always convince, especially the dialogue, but the language is powerful, and the storytelling is beautifully mysterious (I’m talking about the book, not the chana masala).
