Writing is nothing more than a guided dream.
From Jorge Luis Borges
My undertaking is not difficult, essentially. I should only have to be immortal to carry it out.
The fact is that all writers create their precursors. Their work modifies our conception of the past, just as it is bound to modify the future.
I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.
The flattery of posterity is not worth much more than contemporary flattery, which is worth nothing.
In the order of literature, as in others, there is no act that is not the coronation of an infinite series of causes and the source of an infinite series of effects.
