More quotes by Jorge Luis Borges
The mightiest love was granted him Love that does not expect to be loved.
Jorge Luis Borges
To fall in love is to create a religion that has a fallible god.
Jorge Luis Borges
A writer's work is the product of laziness.
Jorge Luis Borges
Once I am dead, there will be no lack of pious hands to throw me over the railing my grave will be the fathomless air my body will sink endlessly and decay and dissolve in the wind generated by the fall, which is infinite.
Jorge Luis Borges
Everything touches everything.
Jorge Luis Borges
My advanced age has taught me the resignation of being Borges.
Jorge Luis Borges
Music, feelings of happiness, mythology, faces worn by time, certain twilights and certain places, want to tell us something, or they told us something that we should not have missed, or they are about to tell us something this imminence of a revelation that is not produced is, perhaps, the esthetic event.
Jorge Luis Borges
For myth is at the beginning of literature, and also at its end.
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
Time, which despoils castles, enriches verses.
Jorge Luis Borges
Whatever one man does, it is as if all men did it. For that reason, it is not unfair that one disobedience in a garden should contaminate all humanity for that reason it is not unjust that the crucifixion of a single Jew should be sufficient to save it.
Jorge Luis Borges
La duda es uno de los nombres de la inteligencia.
Jorge Luis Borges
Time is a fire that consumes me, but I am the fire.
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'm not interested in the fact that a writer may label himself as being intellectual or anti-intellectual. l'm really interested in the stuff he's turning out.
Jorge Luis Borges
Reality is partial to symmetry and slight anachronisms
Jorge Luis Borges
When you come right down to it, opinions are the most superficial things about anyone
Jorge Luis Borges
There are those who seek the love of a woman to forget her, to not think about her.
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
