Library of Borges: Vol. 5

Time is the substance I am made of. Time is a river that sweeps me along, but I am the river; it is a tiger which destroys me, but I am the tiger; it is a fire which consumes me, but I am the fire. The world, unfortunately, is real; I, unfortunately, am Borges.

from "A New Refutation of Time"
in Labyrinths

  1. These Borges quotes are so whimsical and simultaneously profound. I admit I am a little proud that he is Argentinian. :)

    re: Fassbinder
