More quotes by Jorge Luis Borges
If space is infinite, we may be at any point in space. If time is infinite, we may be at any point in time.
Jorge Luis Borges

Jorge Luis Borges
I am not sure of anything, I know nothing . . . can you imagine that I don't even know the date of my own death?
Jorge Luis Borges
Art always opts for the individual, the concrete art is not Platonic.
Jorge Luis Borges

Jorge Luis Borges
Truth never penetrates an unwilling mind.
Jorge Luis Borges

Time is a fire that consumes me, but I am the fire.
Jorge Luis Borges

Jorge Luis Borges
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
Any life, however long and complicated it may be, actually consists of a single moment — the moment when a man knows forever more who he is.
Jorge Luis Borges
What will die with me when I die, what pathetic or fragile form will the world lose?
Jorge Luis Borges
I have no way of knowing whether the events that I am about to narrate are effects or causes.
Jorge Luis Borges
The certainty that everything has already been written annuls us, or renders us phantasmal.
Jorge Luis Borges
The dictionary is based on the hypothesis -- obviously an unproven one -- that languages are made up of equivalent synonyms.
Jorge Luis Borges
