Jorge Luis Borges
“Every man should be capable of all ideas, and I believe that in the future he will be.”
Jorge Luis Borges, Ficciones

Jorge Luis Borges
“It is generally understood that a modern-day book may honorably be based upon an older one, especially since, as Dr. Johnson observed, no man likes owing anything to his contemporaries. The repeated but irrelevant points of congruence between Joyce's Ulysses and Homer's Odyssey continue to attract (though I shall never understand why) the dazzled admiration of critics.”
Jorge Luis Borges, Ficciones

N.K. Jemisin
“No, I'm telling this wrong. After all a person is herself and others. Relationships chisel the final shape of one's being. I am me and you.”
N.K. Jemisin, The Obelisk Gate

Jorge Luis Borges
“Things became duplicated in Tlön; they also tend to become effaced and lose their details when they are forgotten. A classic example is the doorway which survived so long as it was visited by a beggar and disappeared at his death. At times some birds, a horse, have saved the ruins of an amphitheater.”
Jorge Luis Borges, Ficciones

N.K. Jemisin
“But if you stay, no part of this comm gets to decide that any part of this comm is expendable. No voting on who gets to be people.”
N.K. Jemisin, The Obelisk Gate
