Death (or its allusion) makes men precious and pathetic. They are moving because of their phantom condition every act they execute may be their last there is not a face that is not on the verge of dissolving like a face in a dream.
More Quotes from Jorge Borges:
Literature is not exhaustible, for the sufficient and simple reason that a single book is not. A book is not an isolated entity it is a narration, an axis of innumerable narrations. One literature differs from another, either before or after it, not so much because of the text as for the manner in which it is read.Jorge Borges

Jorge Borges
