More quotes by 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
A writer should have another lifetime to see if he's appreciated.
Jorge Luis Borges
I gazed at every mirror on the planet, not one gave back my reflection.
Jorge Luis Borges
We forget that we are all dead men conversing with dead men.
Jorge Luis Borges
Reality may avoid the obligation to be interesting, but ... hypotheses may not.
Jorge Luis Borges
As to my writing short pieces, there are two reasons I can give you. The first is my invincible laziness. The second is that I've always been fond of short stories, and it always took me some trouble to get through a novel.
Jorge Luis Borges
The Falklands thing was a fight between two bald men over a comb.
Jorge Luis Borges

Jorge Luis Borges

Jorge Luis Borges
As the end approaches, there are no longer any images from memory - there are only words.
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 can give you my loneliness, my darkness, the hunger of my heart, I am trying to bribe you with uncertainty, with danger, with defeat.
Jorge Luis Borges
I have no personal system of philosophy. I never attempt to do that. I am merely a man of letters.
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
The central fact of my life has been the existence of words and the possibility of weaving those words into poetry.
Jorge Luis Borges
Everything touches everything.
Jorge Luis Borges
I don't think esthetic schools are important. What is important is the use that is made of them, or whatever the individual writer does.
Jorge Luis Borges
Each thing implies the universe.
Jorge Luis Borges
When one confesses to an act, one ceases to be an actor in it and becomes its witness, becomes a man that observes and narrates it and no longer the man that performed it.
Jorge Luis Borges
Unlike the novel, a short story may be, for all purposes, essential.
Jorge Luis Borges
