Borges

Famous quotes containing the word borges:

    To fall in love is to create a religion that has a fallible god.
    —Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)

    A book is not an autonomous entity: it is a relation, an axis of innumerable relations. One literature differs from another, be it earlier or later, not because of the texts but because of the way they are read: if I could read any page from the present time—this one, for instance—as it will be read in the year 2000, I would know what the literature of the year 2000 would be like.
    —Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)

    The central problem of novel-writing is causality.
    —Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
