Jorge Luis Borges on Mirror
← Back to Jorge Luis Borges Profile
“I owe the discovery of Uqbar to the conjunction of a mirror and an encyclopedia.”
“The earth we inhabit is an error, an incompetent parody. Mirrors and paternity are abominable because they multiply and affirm it.”
“One of the heresiarchs of Uqbar had stated that mirrors and copulation are abominable, since they both multiply the numbers of man.”
