"In order not to suffer, you had to renounce love. It was like putting out your own eyes in order not to see the bad things in life."

Previous Quote

I...have always known that my destiny was, above all, a literary destiny — that bad things and some good things would happen to me, but that, in the long run, all of it would be converted into words. Particularly the bad things, since happiness does not need to be transformed: happiness is its own end.

— Jorge Luis Borges
