Jorge Luis Borges
“Differing from Newton and Schopenhauer, your ancestor did not think of time as absolute and uniform. He believed it an infinite series of times, in a dizzily growing, ever spreading network of diverging, converging and parallel times.”
Jorge Luis Borges

Jorge Luis Borges
“Lost in these imaginary illusions I forgot my destiny – that of the hunted.”
Jorge Luis Borges, The Garden of Forking Paths

Jorge Luis Borges
“I thought that a man might be an enemy of other men, of the differing moments of other men, but never an enemy of a country: not of fireflies, words, gardens, streams, or the West wind.”
Jorge Luis Borges, The Garden of Forking Paths

Jorge Luis Borges
“I carried out my plan because I felt The Chief had some fear of those of my race, of those uncountable forebears whose culmination lies in me. I wished to prove to him that a yellow man could save his armies.”
Jorge Luis Borges, The Garden of Forking Paths

Jorge Luis Borges
“In all fiction, when a man is faced with alternatives he chooses one at the expense of the others. In the almost unfathomable Ts'ui Pen, he chooses – simultaneously – all of them. He thus creates various futures, various times which start others that will in their turn branch out and bifurcate in other times. That is the cause of the contradictions in the novel.”
Jorge Luis Borges, The Garden of Forking Paths
