Jorge Luis Borges
“Every novel is an ideal plane inserted into the realm of reality.”
Jorge Luis Borges, Labyrinths: Selected Stories & Other Writings

Jorge Luis Borges
“Tennyson said that if we could understand a single flower we would know who we are and what the world is. Perhaps he meant that there is no deed, however so humble, which does not implicate universal history and the infinite concatenation of causes and effects. Perhaps he meant that the visible world is implicit, in its entirety, in each manifestation, just as, in the same way, will, according to Schopenhauer, is implicit, in its entirety, in each individual.”
Jorge Luis Borges, Labyrinths: Selected Stories & Other Writings

Jorge Luis Borges
“And yet, and yet… Denying temporal succession, denying the self, denying the astronomical universe, are apparent desperations and secret consolations. Our destiny … is not frightful by being unreal; it is frightful because it is irreversible and iron-clad. Time is the substance I am made of. Time is a river which sweeps me along, but I am the river; it is a tiger which destroys me, but I am the tiger; it is a fire which consumes me, but I am the fire. The world, unfortunately, is real; I, unfortunately, am Borges.”
Jorge Luis Borges

Jorge Luis Borges
“There are no moral or intellectual merits. Homer composed the Odyssey; if we postulate an infinite period of time, with infinite circumstances and changes, the impossible thing is not to compose the Odyssey, at least once.”
Jorge Luis Borges, The Aleph and Other Stories

Jorge Luis Borges
“Historical truth, for him, is not what has happened; it is what we judge to have happened.”
Jorge Luis Borges, Labyrinths: Selected Stories & Other Writings
