"Poetry remembers that it was an oral art before it was a written art." ― Jorge Luis Borges Topic(s): Poetry More From Jorge Luis Borges "To die for a religion is easier than to live it absolutely." "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." More In Poetry "I don’t like to boast, but I have probably skipped more poetry than any other person of my age and weight in this country."― Will Cuppy "Hockey is a sport for white men. Basketball is a sport for black men. Golf is a sport for white men dressed like black pimps."― Tiger Woods "Those who have never entered upon scientific pursuits know not a tithe of the poetry by which they are surrounded."― Herbert Spencer
