There are people who barely feel poetry, and they are generally dedicated to teaching it. - Jorge Luis Borges

I...have always known that my destiny was, above all, a literary destiny — that bad things and some good things would happen to me, but that, in the long run, all of it would be converted
into words. Particularly the bad things, since happiness does not need to be transformed: happiness is its own end.

It seemed incredible to me that day without premonitions or symbols should be the one of my inexorable death.

The certainty that everything has already been written annuls us, or renders us phantasmal.
