From my Weakness

It only takes two facing mirrors to build a labyrinth.
― Jorge Luis Borges

Why do you seem so annoyed at what I'm saying?
Because we're too much like each other. I loathe your face, which is a caricature of mine, I loathe your voice, which is a mockery of mine, I loathe your pathetic syntax, which is my own.
― Jorge Luis Borges

God must not engage in theology. The writer must not destroy by human reasonings the faith that art requires of us.
― Jorge Luis Borges

When I wake up, I wake to something worse. It’s the astonishment of being myself.
― Jorge Luis Borges

From my weakness, I drew strength that never left me.
― Jorge Luis Borges, Ficciones
