The web of time - the strands of which approach one another, bifurcate, intersect, or ignore each other through the centuries - embraces "every" possibility. We do not exist in most of them. In some you exist and not I, while in others I do, and you do not, and in yet others both of us exist.
Jorge Luis BorgesMy undertaking is not difficult, essentially. I should only have to be immortal to carry it out.
Jorge Luis BorgesI canโt talk about my books. I have written them and tried to forget them. I have written once, and readers have read me many times, no? I try to think of what I wrote, itโs very unhealthy to think about the past, the case of elegies is very sad, as much as the case of complaints.
Jorge Luis BorgesWhoever would undertake some atrocious enterprise should act as if it were already accomplished should impose upon himself a future as irrevocable as the past.
