"I am not sure that I exist, actually. I am all the writers that I have read, all the people that I have met, all the women that I have loved; all the cities that I have visited, all my ancestors..."



«(...) To talk closely to Jorge Luis Borges is to track him through a labyrinth of his pasts experiences and attitudes, and the walls that one encounters in the search might be painted in unexpected ways. These may furnish clues or merely diversions in the pursuit, but to understand Borges at least partially is to realize that these clues and diversions are the Borges. We must not expect to find Borges the same each time. There is not one Borges, but many.

This is the Jorge Luis Borges whom the Artful Dodge encountered on April 25, 1980»

"Nothing, nothing, my friend; what I have told you: I am not sure of anything, I know nothing... Can you imagine that I not even know the date of my death?"
