Jorge Luis Borges  (1899 - 1986)  Argentine writer who played with all sorts of metaphysical ideas falling in love with life shortly before his death. For Borges, writing was a way to model life in all possible ways, creating multiple perspectives often contradictory with each other. There is no irony in Borges: only the fascination with paradox. In the end, his favorite model of life turned out to be living itself: his ultimate paradox.

He imagined there could be an eternity in every instant.

People are reflections of one self.

The noblest death is the one we can imagine.

The flow of time is an insidious illusion.

The wildest labyrinth is a desert of sand.
