"She probably thought I was wandering around
god knows where, for god knows how long
without God or cigarettes. I'd guess she was worried."

My memory's not what it used to be.

Jorge Luis Borges, Excerpt from "Labryinths"

"Any great and lasting book must be ambiguous, Borges says; it is a mirror that makes the reader's features known, but the author must seem to be unaware of the significance of his work -- which is an excellent description of Borges's own art. 'God must not engage in theology; the writer must not destroy by human reasonings the faith that art requires of us.'"
--Borges, Labyrinths
