“I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.”
―“I am not sure that I exist, actually. I am all the writers that I have read, all the people that I have met, all the women that I have loved; all the cities I have visited.”
―“I cannot sleep unless I am surrounded by books.”
―“Being with you and not being with you is the only way I have to measure time.”
―“Let others pride themselves about how many pages they have written; I'd rather boast about the ones I've read.”
―“A writer - and, I believe, generally all persons - must think that whatever happens to him or her is a resource. All things have been given to us for a purpose, and an artist must feel this more intensely. All that happens to us, including our humiliations, our misfortunes, our embarrassments, all is given to us as raw material, as clay, so that we may shape our art.”
― Twenty-Four Conversations with Borges: Interviews by Roberto Alifano 1981-1983
