Jorge Luis Borges Quotes

...the image of the Lord had been replaced by a mirror.

Tags:

I have always imagined that Paradise will be some kind of library.

Tags: books library

Let not the rash marble risk

garrulous breaches of oblivion's omnipotence,

in many words recalling

name, renown, events, birthplace.

All those glass jewels are best left in the dark.

Let not the marble say what men do not.

The essentials of the dead man's life--

the trembling hope,

the implacable miracle of pain, the wonder of sensual delight--

will abide forever.

Blindly the uncertain soul asks to continue

when it is the lives of others that will make that happen,

as you yourself are the mirror and image

of those who did not live as long as you

and others will be (and are) your immortality on earth.

I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.

Tags: library paradise reading

Whatever one man does, it is as if all men did it. For that reason, it is not unfair that one disobedience in a garden should contaminate all humanity; for that reason it is not unjust that the crucifixion of a single Jew should be sufficient to save it.
