Jorge Luis Borges Time Quotations

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.

Being with you and not being with you is the only way I have to measure time.

The time for your labor has been granted.

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.

Time, which despoils castles, enriches verses.

A labyrinth of symbols... An invisible labyrinth of time.

Time forks perpetually toward innumerable futures.

Time is a fire that consumes me, but I am the fire.
