More quotes by Jorge Luis Borges
I secretly assumed, as poets do, The duty on me to define the moon.
Jorge Luis Borges
I have known uncertainty: a state unknown to the Greeks.
Jorge Luis Borges
When you reach my age, you realize you couldn't have done things very much better or much worse than you did them in the first place.
Jorge Luis Borges
What will die with me when I die, what pathetic or fragile form will the world lose?
Jorge Luis Borges
That is what always happens: we never know whether we are victors or whether we are defeated.
Jorge Luis Borges
Truth never penetrates an unwilling mind.
Jorge Luis Borges
Poets, like the blind, can see in the dark.
Jorge Luis Borges
Let others pride themselves about how many pages they have written I'd rather boast about the ones I've read.
Jorge Luis Borges
The task of art is to transform what is continuously happening to us, to transform all of these things into symbols, into music, into something which can last in man’s memory. That is our duty. If we don’t fulfill it, we feel unhappy.
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
The time for your labor has been granted.
Jorge Luis Borges
La duda es uno de los nombres de la inteligencia.
Jorge Luis Borges
Kafka had the sense of guilt. I don't think I have because I don't believe in free will. Because what I have done has been done, well, for me or through me. But I haven't done it really. But I don't believe in free will, I can't feel guilty.
Jorge Luis Borges
Doubt is one of the names of intelligence.
Jorge Luis Borges

Jorge Luis Borges
Don't talk unless you can improve the silence.
Jorge Luis Borges
A writer should have another lifetime to see if he's appreciated.
Jorge Luis Borges
I thought of a labyrinth of labyrinths, of one sinuous spreading labyrinth that would encompass the past and the future . . . I felt myself to be, for an unknown period of time, an abstract perceiver of the world.
Jorge Luis Borges
Reality is partial to symmetry and slight anachronisms
Jorge Luis Borges
You who read me, are You sure of understanding my language?
Jorge Luis Borges
