—Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
“Those thoughts are truth which guide us to beneficial interaction with sensible particulars as they occur, whether they copy these in advance or not.”
—William James (1842–1910)
“They ... fleet the time carelessly, as they did in the golden world.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
