Tolstoy: Respect was invented to cover the empty place where love should be. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote3952
Jorge Luis Borges: Of all man’s instruments, the most wondrous, no doubt, is the book. The other instruments are extensions of his body. The microscope, the telescope, are extensions of his sight; the telephone is the extension of his voice; then we have the plow and the sword, extensions of the arm. But the book is something else altogether: the book is an extension of memory and imagination. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote3953
Jorge Luis Borges: I am not sure that I exist, actually. I am all the writers that I have read, all the people that I have met, all the women that I have loved; all the cities I have visited. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote3954
Jorge Luis Borges: I cannot sleep unless I am surrounded by books. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote3955

Jorge Luis Borges: A writer - and, I believe, generally all persons - must think that whatever happens to him or her is a resource. All things have been given to us for a purpose, and an artist must feel this more intensely. All that happens to us, including our humiliations, our misfortunes, our embarrassments, all is given to us as raw material, as clay, so that we may shape our art. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote3956
Jorge Luis Borges: Don't talk unless you can improve the silence. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote3957
Jorge Luis Borges: You have wakened not out of sleep, but into a prior dream, and that dream lies within another, and so on, to infinity, which is the number of grains of sand. The path that you are to take is endless, and you will die before you have truly awakened. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote3958
