The task of art is to transform what is continuously happening to us, to transform all of these things into symbols, into music, into something which can last in manโs memory. That is our duty. If we donโt fulfill it, we feel unhappy.
Jorge Luis BorgesWhat I'm really concerned about is reaching one person. And that person may be myself for all I know.
Jorge Luis BorgesI am interested in the past. Perhaps one of the reasons is we cannot make, cannot change the past. I mean you can hardly unmake the present. But the past after all is merely to say a memory, a dream. You know my own past seems continually changed when I am remembering it, or reading things that are interesting to me.
