"To fall in love is to create a religion that has a fallible god." — Jorge Luis Borges

The truth is that we live out our lives putting off all that can be put off; perhaps we all know deep down that we are immortal and that sooner or later all men will do and know all things.

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 die for a religion is easier than to live it absolutely.

The Falklands thing was a fight between two bald men over a comb.
