"Jakob Grimm’s saying, according to which translating resembles a ship manned to sail the seas, but though it safely carries the goods, it must land at shore with a different soil under a different air."--Katharina Reiss


"Was übersetzen auf sich habe, läßt sich mit demselben Wort, dessen Akzent ich bloß zu ändern brauche, deutlich machen: übersétzen ist übersetzen, traducere navem. Wer nun zur Seefahrt aufgelegt, ein Schiff bemannen und mit vollem Segel an das Gestade jenseits führen kann, muß dennoch landen, wo anderer Boden ist und andere Luft streicht."-- Über das Pedantische in der deutschen Sprache" (1847) by Jacob Grimm

The Brothers Grimm , Jacob (1785–1863) and Wilhelm (1786–1859), were a brother duo of German academics, philologists, cultural researchers, lexicographers, and authors who together collected and published folklore. They are among the best-known storytellers of folk tales, popularizing stories such as "Cinderella", "The Frog Prince", "Hansel and Gretel" , "Little Red Riding Hood", "Rapunzel", "Rumpelstiltskin", "Sleeping Beauty", and "Snow White". Their first collection of folk tales, Children's and Household Tales Kinder- und Hausmärchen, began publication in 1812.
