| gptkbp:famous_quote |
Reality is not always probable, or likely.
The mind is a labyrinth. “ The only thing that matters is the story.” “ The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page.” “ The past is a fiction we invent.” “ I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.” “ Reality is not always probable, or likely.” “ The mind is a labyrinth.” “ I am a writer, and I write.” “ I cannot sleep unless I am surrounded by books.” “ The library is a labyrinth of symbols.” “ Time is the substance I am made of.” “ Time is a river that flows in both directions.” “ I am not sure that I exist, actually. I think I walk around in a state of dream.” “ The future is inevitable and precise, but it may not occur.” “ The library is a sphere whose exact center is any one of its books.” “ To fall in love is to create a religion that has a fallible god.” “ The only thing that I know is that I know nothing.” “ There is no greater illusion than the present.” “ Each reader is a different reader.” I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library. Every writer creates his own precursors. I am a man who believes in the power of words. The book is a mirror that reflects the reader. The universe is a vast, infinite library. There is no greater illusion than the present. Time is a river that flows in one direction. To think is to be in a labyrinth. “ The only thing that can be said about the future is that it is not what it used to be.” “ The original is unfaithful to the translation.” “ Every writer creates his own precursors.” “ I am a man of letters.” “ I have always been a reader.” “ I have written much more than I remember.” “ Literature is a dream that we share.” “ The act of writing is a form of thinking.” “ The story is a labyrinth.” “ The universe is a vast library.” “ To think is to be in danger.” “ We are the sum of our memories.” |
