Jorge Luis Borges Love Quotations

Happy are the beloved and the lovers and those who can live without love.

I think of reading a book as no less an experience than travelling or falling in love.

To fall in love is to create a religion that has a fallible god.

I have preferred to teach my students not English literature but my love for certain authors, or, even better, certain pages, or even better than that, certain lines. One falls in love with a line, then with a page, then with an author. Well, why not? It is a beautiful process.

Being with you and not being with you is the only way I have to measure time.
