If someone has children, the first thing they want is for them to be happy, and then become someone in life and all that. But the educational system, I mean always, not just now, creates competitive, successful people, and does not educate them to be happy. The problem is that success gives money, not happiness. The eternal problem. ~ Jorge Bucay
Jorge Bucay quotes by Jorge Bucay
I want you to judge me without thinking about it.
I want you to give me advice without considering my opinion.
I want you to expecting anything without the need to trust me.
I want you to decide for me with all the care in the world.
I want you to help me without smothering me.
I want you to decide without seeing my point of view.
I want you to hug me without holding me...
I want you to feel protected in my presence without me having to lie.
I want you to be close without suffocating me.
I want you to know everything without knowing anything...
I want you to know that both love and friendship should always be Unconditional. ~ Stefan Dimov
Jorge Bucay quotes by Stefan Dimov
In order to fly you have to create space in the open air so that your wings can really spread out. It's like a parachute. They only work from a high altitude. To fly you have to begin taking risks. If you don't want to, maybe the best thing is just to give up, and keep walking forever. ~ Jorge Bucay
Jorge Bucay quotes by Jorge Bucay
In the critics' vocabulary, the work 'precursor' is indispensable, but it should be cleansed of all connotations of polemics or rivalry. ~ Jorge Luis Borges
Jorge Bucay quotes by Jorge Luis Borges
In vain have oceans been squandered on you, in vain
the sun, wonderfully seen through Whitman's eyes.
You have used up the years and they have used up you,
and still, and still, you have not written the poem. ~ Jorge Luis Borges
Jorge Bucay quotes by Jorge Luis Borges
I believe that in time we will have reached the point where we will deserve to be free of government. ~ Jorge Luis Borges
Jorge Bucay quotes by Jorge Luis Borges
The man who acquires an encyclopedia does not thereby acquire every line, every paragraph, every page, and every illustration; he acquires the possibility of becoming familiar with one and another of those things. ~ Jorge Luis Borges
Jorge Bucay quotes by Jorge Luis Borges
When you come right down to it, opinions are the most superficial things about anyone ~ Jorge Luis Borges
Jorge Bucay quotes by Jorge Luis Borges
To say good-bye is to deny separation; it is to say Today we play at going our own ways, but we'll see each other tomorrow. Men invented farewells because they somehow knew themselves to be immortal, even while seeing themselves as contingent and ephemeral. ~ Jorge Luis Borges
Jorge Bucay quotes by Jorge Luis Borges
You have wings, I have roots. ~ Jorge Molist
Jorge Bucay quotes by Jorge Molist
With relief, with humiliation, with terror, he understood that he too was a mere appearance, dreamt by another. ~ Jorge Luis Borges
Jorge Bucay quotes by Jorge Luis Borges
I have always imagined that Heaven would be some kind of library. ~ Jorge Luis Burges
Jorge Bucay quotes by Jorge Luis Burges
Why a should a dream be any less real than this table. Or Macbeth be less real than today's newspaper. ~ Jorge Luis Borges
Jorge Bucay quotes by Jorge Luis Borges
Not even God who made us all can kill everybody at once. He kills people one by one, and the more he kills the more people are gonna be born and grow up and go on being born and growing up and mixing, and no son-of-a-bitch is gonna stop 'em! ~ Jorge Amado
Jorge Bucay quotes by Jorge Amado
Maybe I was accepted to Harvard only because of my tennis skills, since I definitively had no great academic achievements. I was 17 and only thought about surfing and playing tennis. I had almost never left Rio de Janeiro and had never been to the United States. ~ Jorge Paulo Lemann
Jorge Bucay quotes by Jorge Paulo Lemann
Not all who are lost are lost forever. ~ Jorge Enrique Ponce
Jorge Bucay quotes by Jorge Enrique Ponce
I have no way of knowing whether the events that I am about to narrate are effects or causes. ~ Jorge Luis Borges
Jorge Bucay quotes by Jorge Luis Borges
I wanted to save myself from that drug that contaminates the body and veins and not from the other drug, you know that drug that enters through your eyes and your private area, the one that settles into your heart to screw it up, that damn drug that naive people call love. The stupid drug that's just as dangerous and deadly as the one that you find on the streets wrapped up in little packages. ~ Jorge Franco
Jorge Bucay quotes by Jorge Franco
What people might find surprising: I taught my wife to change diapers when we had our first. ~ Jorge Posada
Jorge Bucay quotes by Jorge Posada
It is a fact, indeed, that most of
the great teachers of mankind have been not writers
but speakers. Think of Pythagoras, Christ, Socrates,
the Buddha, and so on. And since I have spoken of
Socrates, I would like to say something about Plato. I
remember Bernard Shaw said that Plato was the dramatist
who invented Socrates ~ Jorge Luis Borges
Jorge Bucay quotes by Jorge Luis Borges
A writer, or any man, must believe that whatever happens to him is an instrument; everything has been given for an end. This is even stronger in the case of the artist. Everything that happens, including humiliations, embarrassments, misfortunes, all has been given like clay, like material for one's art. One must accept it. For this reason I speak in a poem of the ancient food of heroes: humiliation, unhappiness, discord. Those things are given to us to transform, so that we may make from the miserable circumstances of our lives things that are eternal, or aspire to be so. ~ Jorge Luis Borges
Jorge Bucay quotes by Jorge Luis Borges
My favorite part (of the game) is knowing that they're comfortable, knowing that, no matter
what, they can count on me. What I really enjoy most about catching is the
relationship with a pitcher. The most important thing is they can relax when I'm
back there and know that I did my job, I did some homework on hitters. ~ Jorge Posada

Jorge Bucay quotes by Shane Jones
Poetry is given to the poet. I don't think a poet can sit down at will and write. If he does, nothing worthwhile can come of it. ~ Jorge Luis Borges
Jorge Bucay quotes by Jorge Luis Borges
When you read The Arabian Nights you accept Islam. You accept the fables woven by generations as if they were by one single author or, better still, as if they had no author. And in fact they have one and none. Something so worked on, so polished by generations is no longer associated with and individual. In Kafka's case, it's possible that his fables are now part of human memory. What happened to Quixote could happen to to them. Let's say that all the copies of Quixote, in Spanish and in translation, were lost. The figure of Don Quixote would remain in human memory. I think that the idea of a frightening trial that goes on forever, which is at the core of The Castle and The Trial (both books that Kafka, of course, never wanted to publish because he knew they were unfinished), is now grown infinite, is now part of human memory and can now be rewritten under different titles and feature different circumstances. Kafka's work now forms a part of human memory. ~ Jorge Luis Borges
Jorge Bucay quotes by Jorge Luis Borges
The hours I spent in this anachronistic, bibliophile, Anglophile retreat were in surreal contrast to the shrieking horror show that was being enacted in the rest of the city. I never felt this more acutely than when, having maneuvered the old boy down the spiral staircase for a rare out-of-doors lunch the next day - terrified of letting him slip and tumble - I got him back upstairs again. He invited me back for even more readings the following morning but I had to decline. I pleaded truthfully that I was booked on a plane for Chile. 'I am so sorry,' said this courteous old genius. 'But may I then offer you a gift in return for your company?' I naturally protested with all the energy of an English middle-class upbringing: couldn't hear of such a thing; pleasure and privilege all mine; no question of accepting any present. He stilled my burblings with an upraised finger. 'You will remember,' he said, 'the lines I will now speak. You will always remember them.' And he then recited the following:

What man has bent o'er his son's sleep, to brood
How that face shall watch his when cold it lies?
Or thought, as his own mother kissed his eyes,
Of what her kiss was when his father wooed?
The title (Sonnet XXIX of Dante Gabriel Rossetti) - 'Inclusiveness' - may sound a trifle sickly but the enfolded thought recurred to me more than once after I became a father and Borges was quite right: I have never had to remind myself of the words. I was mumbling my tha ~ Christopher Hitchens
Jorge Bucay quotes by Christopher Hitchens
If we think of the novel and the epic ... The difference lies in the fact that the important thing about the epic is a hero
a man who is a pattern for all men. While, as Mencken pointed out, the essence of most novels lies in the breaking down of a man, in the degeneration of character. ~ Jorge Luis Borges
Jorge Bucay quotes by Jorge Luis Borges
Let others pride themselves about how many pages they have written; I'd rather boast about the ones I've read. ~ Jorge Luis Borges
Jorge Bucay quotes by Jorge Luis Borges
I suppose identity depends on memory. And if my memory is blotted out, then I wonder if I exist - I mean, if I am the same person. Of course, I don't have to solve that problem. It's up to God, if any. ~ Jorge Luis Borges
Jorge Bucay quotes by Jorge Luis Borges
Jorge Luis Borges: "I have always imagined that paradise will be a kind of library." "The ~ Suzanne Kelman
Jorge Bucay quotes by Suzanne Kelman
Time can't be measured in days the way money is measured in pesos and centavos, because all pesos are equal, while every day, perhaps every hour, is different. ~ Jorge Luis Borges
Jorge Bucay quotes by Jorge Luis Borges
Reality may be too complex for oral transmission; legend recreates it in a manner which is only accidentally false and which allows it to go about the world, from mouth to mouth. ~ Jorge Luis Borges
Jorge Bucay quotes by Jorge Luis Borges
I owe my first inkling of the problem of infinity to a large biscuit tin that was a source of vertiginous mystery during my childhood. ~ Jorge Luis Borges
Jorge Bucay quotes by Jorge Luis Borges
The man who has learned that three plus one are four doesn't have to go through a proof of that assertion with coins, or dice, or chess pieces, or pencils. He knows it, and that's that. He cannot conceive a different sum. There are mathematicians who say that three plus one is a tautology for four, a different way of saying "four" ... If three plus one can be two, or fourteen, then reason is madness. ~ Jorge Luis Borges
Jorge Bucay quotes by Jorge Luis Borges
He constructed a vast labyrinthine of periods, made impassable by the piling-up of clauses upon clauses-clauses in which oversight and bad grammar seemed manifestations of disdain. ~ Jorge Luis Borges
Jorge Bucay quotes by Jorge Luis Borges
When people write in favor or against anybody, that hardly helps or hurts them ... man can be done or undone by his own writing, not by what other people say of him. ~ Jorge Luis Borges
Jorge Bucay quotes by Jorge Luis Borges
On February 14, I received a telegram from Buenos Aires urging me to return home immediately; my father was "not at all well." God forgive me, but the prestige of being the recipient of an urgent telegram, the desire to communicate to all of Fray Bentos the contradiction between the negative form of the news and the absoluteness of the adverbial phrase, the temptation to dramatize my grief by feigning a virile stoicism-all this perhaps distracted me from any possibility of real pain. ~ Jorge Luis Borges
Jorge Bucay quotes by Jorge Luis Borges
To speak is to fall into tautology. ~ Jorge Luis Borges
Jorge Bucay quotes by Jorge Luis Borges
Aw, how could he Jorge Orta lose the ball in the sun, he's from Mexico. ~ Harry Caray
Jorge Bucay quotes by Harry Caray
The dictionary is based on the hypothesis
obviously an unproven one
that languages are made up of equivalent synonyms. ~ Jorge Luis Borges
Jorge Bucay quotes by Jorge Luis Borges
Had the poet said so in so many words, he would have been far less effective. Because, as I understand it, anything suggested is far more effective than anything laid down. Perhaps the human mind has a tendency to deny a statement. ~ Jorge Luis Borges
Jorge Bucay quotes by Jorge Luis Borges
After hours of work, they finally found an address through someone Jorge called "a friend of a friend of an enemy's enemy." By that time it was late and they all crashed for the night; ~ James Dashner
Jorge Bucay quotes by James Dashner
The only thing that matters is when the team wins. ~ Jorge Posada
Jorge Bucay quotes by Jorge Posada
A writer's work is the product of laziness. ~ Jorge Luis Borges
Jorge Bucay quotes by Jorge Luis Borges
The screams were heard in every corner of all the Realms. Each feather that was ripped out was a heartrending cry. The archangel wept in silence while, with his flaming hand, he tore the wings from his brother. ~ Jorge Silva Rodighiero
Jorge Bucay quotes by Jorge Silva Rodighiero
Weapons of Mass Destruction: Radioactive, Biological, or Chemical weapons capable of causing mass casualties and great destruction.

I wonder why humans aren't on the list? ~ Jorge Angeles
Jorge Bucay quotes by Jorge Angeles
You can get fired from any job at any time. ~ Jorge Garcia
Jorge Bucay quotes by Jorge Garcia
My advanced age has taught me the resignation of being Borges. ~ Jorge Luis Borges
Jorge Bucay quotes by Jorge Luis Borges
The gods weave misfortunes for men, so that the generations to come will have something to sing about." Mallarmé repeats, less beautifully, what Homer said; "tout aboutit en un livre," everything ends up in a book. The Greeks speak of generations that will sing; Mallarmé speaks of an object, of a thing among things, a book. But the idea is the same; the idea that we are made for art, we are made for memory, we are made for poetry, or perhaps we are made for oblivion. But something remains, and that something is history or poetry, which are not essentially different. ~ Jorge Luis Borges
Jorge Bucay quotes by Jorge Luis Borges
Let no one reduce to tears or reproach
This statement of the mastery of God,
Who, with magnificent irony, gave
Me at once both books and night

Of this city of books He pronounced rulers
These lightless eyes, who can only
Peruse in libraries of dreams
The insensible paragraphs that yield

With every new dawn. Vainly does the day
Lavish on them its infinite books,
Arduous as the arduous manuscripts
Which at Alexandria did perish.

Of hunger and thirst (a Greek story tells us)
Dies a king amidst fountains and gardens;
I aimlessly weary at the confines
Of this tall and deep blind library.

Encyclopedias, atlases, the East
And the West, centuries, dynasties
Symbols, cosmos and cosmogonies
Do walls proffer, but pointlessly.

Slow in my shadow, I the hollow shade
Explore with my indecisive cane;
To think I had imagined Paradise
In the form of such a library.

Something, certainly not termed
Fate, rules on such things;
Another had received in blurry
Afternoons both books and shadow.

Wandering through these slow corridors
I often feel with a vague and sacred dread
That I am another, the dead one, who must
Have trodden the same steps at the same time.

Which of the two is now writing this poem
Of a plural I and of a single shadow?
How important ~ Jorge Luis Borges
Jorge Bucay quotes by Jorge Luis Borges
My only advice is, follow your dream and do whatever you like to do the most. I chose journalism because I wanted to be in the places where history was being made. ~ Jorge Ramos
Jorge Bucay quotes by Jorge Ramos
In spite of these three obstacles, Menard's fragmentary _Quixote_ is more subtle than Cervantes'. ~ Jorge Luis Borges
