Jorge Luis Borges

All literature is an autobiography.

The only way to be happy is to be ignorant.

I have always been a shy man, and I have always been afraid of women.

I am a man of letters, not a man of action.

The universe is a library.

I have always thought of myself as a kind of ghost.

I don't believe in progress. I believe in cycles.

I am a writer, and I believe in the power of words.

Life is a dream. Death is an awakening.

I have always been a skeptic. I have always doubted everything.

I am a man of the nineteenth century, living in the twentieth.

Books are not a substitute for life. But they can be a help.

I have always been a solitary man. I have always preferred books to people.

I am a dreamer. I have always been a dreamer.

The greatest enemy of art is the good.

I have always been a man of doubts. I have always been a man of questions.

I am a man of the labyrinth. I am a man of the mirror.

I have always been a man of symbols. I have always been a man of metaphors.

I have always been a man of the book. I have always been a man of the word.

I am a man of the universe. I am a man of the cosmos.
