"Hladik was past forty. Apart from a few friends and many routines, the problematic pursuit of literature constituted the whole of his life; like every writer, he measured other men's virtues by what they had accomplished, yet asked that other men measure him by what he planned someday to do." -- Jorge Luis Borges, "The Secret Miracle"
The thing about Borges is that he has stolen every cool idea you will ever have, and cleverly arranged to have written them better than you could ever hope to, sixty years ago.
