Many Languages, One World
Let me take some liberties and play with this statement.
Every language is an individual world. Language works like a unique matrix with its own structure, logic and correlations, through which people perceive reality. This complex, fabulously organized system cannot be translated in terms of another matrix: although a rough meaning may be reproduced in a roundabout way, veiled half-words and elusive senses will be irreversibly lost. So many languages, so many worlds.
