Jorge Luis Borges Quotes

The Certitude That Everything Has Been Written Negates Us Or Turns Us Into Phantoms. I Know Of Districts In Which The Young Men Prostrate Themselves Before Books And Kiss Their Pages In A Barbarous Manner, But They Do Not Know How To Decipher A Single Letter. Epidemics, Heretical Conflicts, Peregrinations Which Inevitably Degenerate Into Banditry, Have Decimated The Population. I Believe I Have Mentioned Suicides, More And More Frequent With The Years. Perhaps My Old Age And Fearfulness Deceive Me, But I Suspect That The Human Species
The Unique Species
Is About To Be Extinguished, But The Library Will Endure: Illuminated, Solitary, Infinite, Perfectly Motionless, Equipped With Precious Volumes, Useless, Incorruptible, Secret.
