“Life has now taught me that love for things, like all unrequited love, takes its toll in the long run.”
― Adolfo Bioy Casares, Asleep in the Sun
― Adolfo Bioy Casares, Asleep in the Sun
“And the reason I am so nervous is that everything I do now is leading me to one of three possible futures... Which one will it be? Time alone will tell. But still I know that writing this diary can perhaps provide the answer; it may even help produce the right future.”
― Adolfo Bioy Casares, The Invention of Morel
― Adolfo Bioy Casares, The Invention of Morel
“The body is imaginary, and we bow to the tyranny of a phantom. Love is a privilege perception, the most total and lucid not only of the unreality of the world but of our own unreality: not only do we traverse a realm of shadows; but ourselves are shadows.”
― Adolfo Bioy Casares
