على مِثلِ ليلى يَقتُلُ المرءُ نَفسَه وإنْ كنتُ من ليلى على اليأسِ طاويا خَلِيلَيَّ إنْ ضَنُّوا بليلى فقَرِّبا ليَ النعشَ والأكفانَ واستغفِرا ليا — قيس بن الملوح

Stoicism is always required to give balance an artistic sensibility

Stoics and Epicureans. — The Epicurean seeks out the situation, the persons, and even the events that suit his extremely sensitive intellectual constitution; he forgoes the rest—that is, almost everything—because it would be too strong and heavy a diet. The Stoic, by contrast, trains himself to swallow stones and worms, glass shards and scorpions without nausea; he wants his stomach to be ultimately insensible to everything the chance of existence pours into him—he likes to act out his insensitivity before an invited audience, which is precisely what the Epicurean gladly eschews—for he has his ‘garden’! Stoicism may well be advisable for those with whom fate improvises and who live in violent times and depend on impulsive and changeable people. But someone who more or less expects fate to allow him to spin a long thread does well to take an Epicurean orientation; people engaged in work of the spirit have always done so! For it would be the loss of all losses, for them, to forfeit their subtle sensitivity in exchange for a hard Stoic skin with porcupine spines. — The Joyful Science, aphorism 306

Tbh, it beats the movie 'Arrival' in this aspect. And that movie was literally about translation.

+ دور الترجمة بالمسلسل عظيم أغلب المرات، ماريكو ما تترجم الكلام بشكل حرفي. تلكاها تغيّره بما يلائم عادات وثقافة كل لغة وبنفس الوقت دتشتغل بصفتها دبلوماسية ونص المرات تخفف من حدّة الكلام لما تترجمه.

It gives you the feeling of an alien movie, because just like Blackthorne you're suddenly thrown into a dizzyingly unknown world

Shogun is so fucking brilliant
