#Borges23 continues
As the years pass, every man is forced to bear the growing burden of his memory.

(finally finished)
“I am ready to walk that Path with you, even if we must walk for many years. Allow me to cross the desert. Allow me to glimpse, even from afar, the promised land, though the stars prevent me from setting foot upon it.”
#Borges23
…and you will give in to the vain and superstitious temptation to write your great book—the superstition that inflicted upon us Goethe’s Faust, and Salammbo, and Ulysses.

It was a treat to be introduced to JLB and to have done so in the good company of my fellow #Borges23'rs. I was able to read a few of these selections in Spanish concurrently and look forward to making my way through more of them.
“He told me his book was called the Book of Sand because neither sand nor this book has a beginning or an end.”

Rereading what I have written, I see that I have committed a fundamental error. Led astray by the habit of that good or bad literature wrongly called psychology, I have atte mpted to recover—I don't know why—the linear chronology of my find. Blue Tigers #Borges23
The people who lived in the village were Hindus. I did not like this, though I had foreseen it. I have always gotten along better with Muslims, though Islam, I know, is the poorest of the religions that spring from Judaism. 🤷🏻♀️Blue Tigers #Borges23
When a man reaches a certain age, there are many things he can feign; happiness is not one of them. #Borges23
Shakespeare’s Memory
Afterword
Writing a foreword to stories the reader has not yet read is an almost impossible task, for it requires that one talk about plots that really ought not to be revealed beforehand. I have chosen, therefore, to write an afterword instead. #Borges23
A prisoner of the Book, I hardly left my house. The Book of Sand #Borges23
#Borges23 "Summer was drawing to a close, and I realized that the book was monstrous". Ulysses and Infinite Jest, I'm thinking of you.
#Borges23 No one can read two thousand books. In the four hundred years I have lived, I’ve not read more than half a dozen. In any case, it is not the reading that matters, but the rereading.
"It is a printed book. I have more than two thousand at home, though they are not as old or as valuable." I read the title aloud. The man laughed. "No one can read two thousand books. In the four hundred years I have lived, I've not read more than half a dozen. #Borges23
A Weary Man's Utopia
He called it "Utopia," a Greek word which means "there is no such place." Quevedo #Borges23
FICTIONS | Jorge Luis Borges 1899-1986
‘…the madness of composing vast books - setting out in five hundred pages an idea that can be…related…in five minutes. The better way…is to pretend that those books already exist, and offer a summary, a commentary on them.’ #Borges23
We were debating the problem of knowledge. Someone invoked the Platonic idea that we have already seen all things in some former world, so that "knowing" is in fact "recognizing";The Night of the Gifts #Borges23
