Quote by Jorge Luis Borges

Literature is not exhaustible, for the sufficient and simple reason that a single book is not. A book is not an isolated entity: it is a narration, an axis of innumerable narrations. One literature differs from another, either before or after it, not so much because of the text as for the manner in which it is read.

Literature is not exhaustible, for the sufficient and simple

Summary

This quote emphasizes the endlessness and interconnectedness of literature. It argues that literature cannot be fully explored or exhausted because each book is not an isolated entity but a narrative that connects with countless others. The differences between literatures do not solely depend on the text itself but also on how it is interpreted and read. Therefore, literature is a vast and ever-expanding realm, offering unique perspectives and narratives that continue to shape our understanding of the world.
