Famous quotes containing the words borges and/or estate:
“Imprecision is tolerable and verisimilar in literature, because we always tend towards it in life.”
—Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
“Sweet are the thoughts that savour of content,
The quiet mind is richer than a crown;
Sweet are the nights in careless slumber spent,
The poor estate scorns Fortune’s angry frown.
Such sweet content, such minds, such sleep, such bliss,
Beggars enjoy, when princes oft do miss.”
—Robert Greene (1558?–1592)
