Through the years, a man peoples a space with images of provinces, kingdoms, mountains, bays, ships, islands, fishes, rooms, tools, stars, horses and people. Shortly before his death, he discovers that the patient labyrinth of lines traces the image of his own face.
More Quotes from Jorge Borges:
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.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
...the image of the Lord had been replaced by a mirror.
Jorge Borges
I am almost sure to be blotted out by death, but sometimes I think it is not impossible that I may continue to live in some other manner after my physical death.... Or, as Hamlet wonders, what dreams will come when we leave this body
Jorge Borges
