More quotes by Jorge Luis Borges
Reality may avoid the obligation to be interesting, but ... hypotheses may not.
Jorge Luis Borges
The art of writing is mysterious the opinions we hold are ephemeral , and I prefer the Platonic idea of the Muse to that of Poe, who reasoned, or feigned to reason, that the writing of a poem is an act of the intelligence. It never fails to amaze me that the classics hold a romantic theory of poetry, and a romantic poet a classical theory.
Jorge Luis Borges
It seemed incredible to me that day without premonitions or symbols should be the one of my inexorable death .
Jorge Luis Borges
In adultery, there is usually tenderness and self-sacrifice in murder, courage in profanation and blasphemy, a certain satanic splendour. Judas elected those offences unvisited by any virtues: abuse of confidence and informing.
Jorge Luis Borges
I don't think we're capable of knowledge, but I like to keep an open mind. So if you ask me whether I believe in an afterlife or not, whether I believe in God or not, I can only answer you that all things are possible. And if all things are possible, heaven and hell and the angels are also possible. They're not to be ruled out.
Jorge Luis Borges
The mathematical sciences wield their particular language made of digits and signs, no less subtle than any other.
Jorge Luis Borges
I hardly know what I'm going to write - an article, a story, a poem in free verse - or in some regular form. I only know that when I have the first sentence. And when the first sentence makes a kind of pattern, then I find out the kind of rhythm I'm looking for.
Jorge Luis Borges
While we are asleep in this world, we are awake in another one
Jorge Luis Borges
Reality favors symmetry.
Jorge Luis Borges
His life, measured in space and time, will take up a mere few lines, which my ignorance will abbreviate further.
Jorge Luis Borges
In general, every country has the language it deserves.
Jorge Luis Borges
Art always opts for the individual, the concrete art is not Platonic.
Jorge Luis Borges
I saw a sunset in Queretaro that seemed to reflect the color of a rose in Bengal.
Jorge Luis Borges
My father and he had cemented one of those English friendships which begin by avoiding intimacies and eventually eliminate speech altogether.
Jorge Luis Borges
May Heaven exist, even if my place is Hell.
Jorge Luis Borges
The future has no other reality than as present hope, and the past is no more than present memory.
Jorge Luis Borges
i walk slowly, like one who comes from so far away he doesn't expect to arrive
Jorge Luis Borges
Life and death have been lacking in my life.
Jorge Luis Borges
Reality is not always probable, or likely.
Jorge Luis Borges
Another school declares that all time has already transpired and that our life is only the crepuscular and no doubt falsified and mutilated memory or reflection of an irrecoverable process.
Jorge Luis Borges
