Jorge Luis Borges Quotes
What Is Longevity? It Is The Horror Of Existing In A Human Body Whose Faculties Are In Decline. It Is Insomnia Measured By Decades And Not By Metal Hands. It Is Carrying The Weight Of Seas And Pyramids, Of Ancient Libraries And Dynasties, Of The Dawns That Adam Saw. It Is Being Well Aware That I Am Bound To My Flesh, To A Voice I Detest, To My Name, To Routinely Remembering, To Castilian, Over Which I Have No Control, To Feeling Nostalgic For The Latin I Do Not Know. It Is Trying To Sink Into Death And Being Unable To Sink Into Death. It Is Being And Continuing To Be.
