“It is a fact, indeed, that most of
the great teachers of mankind have been not writers
but speakers. Think of Pythagoras, Christ, Socrates,
the Buddha, and so on. And since I have spoken of
Socrates, I would like to say something about Plato. I
remember Bernard Shaw said that Plato was the dramatist
who invented Socrates”
― Jorge Luis Borges, This Craft of Verse

“When a writer dies, he becomes his books.”
― Jorge Luis Borges

“A writer always begins by being too complicated—he’s playing at several games at once.”
― Jorge Luis Borges
