Someone said that trying to explain love is like explaining a book by Borges, it happens between the fantastic and the real, but nothing can be compared. The idea of ​​describing to someone what it feels like to give a kiss when you love each other and understand that everything will be fine is like trying to decipher what the Aleph is.
By reading Borges you can understand that sometimes you don’t understand what you feel. But what germinates within you and makes you blindly follow something does have a reason, just as love does.
Our life is full of love and sometimes it is not what we expect. Borges knew that. That is why his sayings and reflections about this feeling make us shudder at the beauty of his words.
Borges’ phrases about love
“To fall in love is to create a religion whose God is fallible.”
“Beauty is that beautiful mystery that neither psychology nor rhetoric deciphers.”
“Perhaps, when a man is in love, he is not wrong. Perhaps, those who are not in love are the ones who are wrong.”
“Friendship doesn’t need frequency, love does.”
“Over the years I have observed that beauty, like happiness, is frequent. Not a day goes by that we are not, for a moment, in paradise.”
“Time can get sick when boredom comes to a couple. If the time between the two got sick, the kiss would not be the same, the kiss would not know what to do, what fresh mouth my kiss would kiss if time got sick.”
“In love, if there is no confidence, one already feels it as a betrayal.”
“I have once suspected that the only thing without mystery is happiness, because it is justified by itself.”
“The verb to read, like the verb to love and the verb to dream, does not support the imperative mood”.
“To be with you or not to be with you is the measure of my time.”
Jorge Luis Borges reminds us that we must fall in love in our time, feel and let ourselves go. He tells us that since all things are eternal and at the same time mundane, we need to enjoy the moment and worry about it later.
