That is what always happens: we never know whether we are victors or whether we are defeated.

Jorge Luis Borges 386 quotes

I, who have been so many men i...

I, who have been so many men in vain, want to be one man, myself alone. From out of a whirlwind the voice of God replied: I am not, either. I dreamed the world the way you dreamed your work, my Shakespeare: one of the forms of my dream was you, who, like me, are many and one.

Reality favors symmetry.

Jorge Luis Borges 386 quotes

Blindness has not been for me ...

Blindness has not been for me a total misfortune; it should not be seen in a pathetic way. It should be seen as a way of life: one of the styles of living.

Jorge Luis Borges 386 quotes

No one is a poet from eight to...

No one is a poet from eight to twelve and from two to six. Whoever is a poet is one always, and continually assaulted by poetry.

Jorge Luis Borges 386 quotes

What will die with me when I d...

What will die with me when I die, what pathetic or fragile form will the world lose?

To bless thine enemy is a good way to satisfy thy vanity.

What you really value is what ...

What you really value is what you miss, not what you have.

In our dreams (writes Coleridge) images represent the sensations we think they cause; we do not feel horror because we are threatened by a sphinx; we dream of a sphinx in order to explain the horror we feel.

You may win your heart's desire, but in the end you're cheated of it by death.

To arrange a library is to practice in a quiet and modest way the art of criticism.

I never reread what I've written. I'm far too afraid to feel ashamed of what I've done.

Jorge Luis Borges 386 quotes

Every novel is an ideal plane ...

Every novel is an ideal plane inserted into the realm of reality.

Jorge Luis Borges 386 quotes

A system is nothing more than ...

A system is nothing more than the subordination of all aspects of the universe to any one of such aspects.

Jorge Luis Borges 386 quotes

I think that the reader should enrich what he is reading. He should misunderstand the text; he should change it into something else.

Jorge Luis Borges 386 quotes

What will die with me the day ...

What will die with me the day I die? What pathetic or frail image will be lost to the world? The voice of Macedonio Fernandez, the image of a bay horse in a vacant lot on the corner of Sarrano and Charcas, a bar of sulfur in the drawer of a mahogany desk?

Jorge Luis Borges 386 quotes

Loneliness does not worry me; ...

Loneliness does not worry me; life is difficult enough, putting up with yourself and with your own habits.

Jorge Luis Borges 386 quotes

The visible universe was an il...

The visible universe was an illusion or, more precisely, a sophism. Mirrors and fatherhood are abominable because they multiply it and extend it.

Jorge Luis Borges 386 quotes

The gods weave misfortunes for men, so that the generations to come will have something to sing about.Ђќ MallarmГ© repeats, less beautifully, what Homer said; 'tout aboutit en un livre,Ђќ everything ends up in a book. The Greeks speak of generations that will sing; MallarmГ© speaks of an object, of a thing among things, a book. But the idea is the same; the idea that we are made for art, we are made for memory, we are made for poetry, or perhaps we are made for oblivion. But something remains, and that something is

As a boy, I used to marvel that the letters in a closed book did not get scrambled and lost overnight.
