equidistant

quotes from labyrinths by jorge luis borges


“plato said that poets are the scribes of a god who moves them against their own will, against their intentions, just as a magnet moves a series of iron rings.” -in “the argentine writer and tradition”

“in time, because if the future and the past are infinite, there can not really be a when; in space, because if every being is equidistant from the infinite and the infinitesimal, neither can there be a where. no one exists on a certain day, in a certain lace; no one knows the size of his own countenance.” -from “the fearful sphere of pascal”
