More From Jorge Luis Borges
- "Time is the substance from which I am made. Time is a river which carries me along, but I am the river; it is a tiger that devours me, but I am the tiger; it is a fire that consumes me, but I am the fire."
- "To be immortal is commonplace; except for man, all creatures are immortal, for they are ignorant of death; what is divine, terrible, incomprehensible, is to know that one is immortal."
- "To die for a religion is easier than to live it absolutely."
More In Government
- "People are so docile right now. It is almost as if good government means when the politicians lie to us for our own good, for the public good, and bad government is when politicians lie for their own selfish interests."― James Bovard
- "Whenever the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government."― Thomas Jefferson
- "I think people are confused about what the Tea Party is. I mean, they were a broad cross-section of Americans who came together concerned about our debt and our spending. And they’re interested in constitutional, limited government. And so they’re not one group of people. They’re thousands of small groups all over the country."― Jim DeMint
