Jorge Luis Borges Quotes

"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.""Everything touches everything.""Any life, however long and complicated it may be, actually consists of a single moment—the moment when a man knows forever more who he is.""I have known uncertainty: a state unknown to the Greeks.""Reality is not always probable or likely.""The flattery of posterity is not worth much more than contemporary flattery, which is worth nothing""Time is the substance I am made of Time is a river that sweeps me along, but I am the river; it is a tiger that devours me, but I am the tiger; it is a fire that consumes me, but I am the fire"
