Borges

Famous quotes containing the word borges:

    Music, feelings of happiness, mythology, faces worn by time, certain twilights and certain places, want to tell us something, or they told us something that we should not have missed, or they are about to tell us something; this imminence of a revelation that is not produced is, perhaps, the esthetic event.
    —Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)

    Every writer “creates” his own precursors. His work modifies our conception of the past, as it will modify the future.

    —Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
