“Я был профессором английской литературы… Когда студенты спрашивали у меня библиографию, я отвечал: “Библиография не имеет значения; в конце концов Шекспир не подозревал о существовании шекспировской библиографии… Почему не обратиться прямо к текстам? Если эти тексты доставят вам радость, прекрасно; если они вам не нравятся, оставьте их; идея обязательного чтения абсурдна, с таким же успехом можно говорить о принудительном счастье”

Its owner, Mr. Jorge Francisco Isidoro Luis Borges, was a man of average height. His short, thin legs supported a torso, which was at once solid and svelte. His head was the size of a small coconut, and he had a slender, flexible neck. He was a pantheist.”

“Let my body sweat Let snakes torment my breast My eyes be blind, ears deaf, hands distraught Mouth parched, uterus cut out, Belly slashed, back lashed, Tongue slivered into thongs of leather Rain stones inserted in my breasts, Head severed, If only the lips may speak, If only the god will come.”

“There's not one religion but two, one is commercial religion, rooted in fear, prejudice and bigotry, and the other is lived religion, rooted in kindness and inclusivity - the atheist and the believer drink from the same water, breathe the same air, eat the same food - mother nature, the actual origin of life, doesn't segregate between believer and nonbeliever, it's only the savages who do that.”
