Jorge Luis Borges
“The dictionary is based on the hypothesis -- obviously an unproven one -- that languages are made up of equivalent synonyms.”
Jorge Luis Borges

Georges Perec
“This is how space begins, with words only, signs traced on the blank page. To describe space: to name it, to trace it, like those portolano-makers who saturated the coastlines with the names of harbours, the names of capes, the names of inlets, until in the end the land was only separated from the sea by a continuous ribbon of text. Is the aleph, that place in Borges from which the entire world is visible simultaneously, anything other than an alphabet?”
Georges Perec, Species of Spaces and Other Pieces

Jorge Luis Borges
“Being an agnostic means all things are possible, even God, even the Holy Trinity. This world is so strange that anything may happen, or may not happen. Being an agnostic makes me live in a larger, a more fantastic kind of world, almost uncanny. It makes me more tolerant.”
Jorge Luis Borges

Jorge Luis Borges
“What man of us has never felt, walking through the twilight or writing down a date from his past, that he has lost something infinite?”
Jorge Luis Borges, Dreamtigers
tags: loss

Jorge Luis Borges
“I think that the reader should enrich what he is reading. He should misunderstand the text; he should change it into something else.”
Jorge Luis Borges
