Jorge Luis Borges
Canada is so far away it hardly exists.
Jorge Luis Borges
There is no point in being overwhelmed by the appalling total of human sufferring such a total does not exist. Neither poverty nor pain is accumulable.
Jorge Luis Borges
La duda es uno de los nombres de la inteligencia.
Jorge Luis Borges
I ask of any God, of any gods, that if they give immortality, I hope to be granted oblivion also.
Jorge Luis Borges
