Be wonderful if you approached a translated piece, by first considering the time and culture that produced it. Understanding the intent, rather than quoting it

Be wonderful if you approached a translated piece, by first considering the time and culture that produced it. Understanding the intent, rather than quoting it out of place. This is a political critique, on the rule of law (writing) over attempting to treat things on a case by case basis (philosophy). Quoting it, without understanding it, is part of that author's complaint.
