Borges Began

Famous quotes containing the words borges and/or began:

“The central problem of novel-writing is causality.”
—Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)

“He took up his pen, which seemed to parch like a martyr in his hand. He began to write, nevertheless, addressing the nine-and-ninety lies of the moment he hoped with for a night of saloperie at the side of the twisted strumpet, Fiction, who lasciviously rolled her eyes at him, hiked up her skirt, and beckoned him on.”
—Alexander Theroux (b. 1940)
