Jorge Luis Borges Quotes

"A writer should have another lifetime to see if he's appreciated""To live in a world without stories would be unbearable""Hell is the place where none of your dreams come true""I cannot imagine the universe without books""To die for a religion is easier than to live it""One concept corrupts and confuses the others""Blind to all fault, destiny can be ruthless at one's slightest distraction""The truth is that we live on a bottomless and shifting reality""Every man should be capable of all ideas, and I believe that in the future he will be""I have committed the worst sin a man can commit: I have not been happy""The things one loves are an entire universe in themselves""Nothing is built on stone; all is built on sand, but we must build as if the sand were stone""The past is indestructible; sooner or later all things will return, including the plan to abolish the past""I cannot sleep unless I am surrounded by books""Writing is nothing more than a guided dream""There is no need to build a labyrinth when the entire universe is one""We accept reality so readily - perhaps because we sense that nothing is real""The original is unfaithful to the translation""Being with you and not being with you is the only way I have to measure time.""One is allowed to change the past, but only in the libraries."
