with the whole of literature before them,
to sift our enormous rubbish heaps for our tiny pearls?"

- Village Pump proposals:
- 1) Template paragaph for asking contributors the source of newly added quote (s), possibly with variants for genre (books, speeches, films, TV shows, etc.).
- 2) Translation questions: a) rejecting overtly bad translations; b) use of translation abilities among editors (i.e., when can editors translate as opposed to using already existent translations).
