Jorge Luis Borges Quotes

“The exchange of thoughts is a condition necessary for all love, all friendship and all real dialogue. Two men who can speak together can enrich and broaden themselves indefinitely.”
― Jorge Luis Borges, Jorge Luis Borges: The Last Interview: and Other Conversations

“As I think of the many myths, there is one that is very harmful, and that is the myth of countries. I mean, why should I think of myself as being an Argentine, and not a Chilean, and not an Uruguayan.

I don't know really.

All of those myths that we impose on ourselves — and they make for hatred, for war, for enmity — are very harmful.

Well, I suppose in the long run, governments and countries will die out and we'll be just, well, cosmopolitans.”
