Jorge Luis Borges
“«M'inganneranno, forse, la vecchiezza e il timore ma sospetto che la specie umana - l'unica - stia per estinguersi, e che la Bibioteca perdurerà: illuminata, solitaria, infinita, perfettamente immobile, armata di volumi preziosi, inutile, incorruttibile, segreta.
Aggiungo: infinita. Non introduco quest'aggettivo per un'abitudine retorica; dico che non è illogico pensare che il mondo sia infinito. Chi lo giudica limitato, suppone che in qualche luogo remoto i corridoi e le scale e gli esagoni possano inconcepibilmente cessare; ciò che è assurdo. Chi lo immagina senza limiti, dimentica che è limitato il numero possibile dei libri. Io m'arrischio a insinuare questa soluzione: La Biblioteca è illimitata e periodica. Se un eterno viaggiatore la traversasse in una direzione qualsiasi, constaterebbe alla fine dei secoli che gli stessi volumi si ripetono nello stesso disordine (che, ripetuto, sarebbe un ordine: l'Ordine). Questa elegante speranza rallegra la mia solitudine.»

[La Biblioteca di Babele]
Jorge Luis Borges, Fictions/Ficciones

“Once we understand that all human values are the result of fictions and myths,we don’t consider them sacrosanct. we are then able to question many beliefs that are believed to be irrefutable. we then move from the darkness of ignorance to the light of wisdom.”
Awdhesh Singh, Myths are Real, Reality is a Myth

Awdhesh Singh
“Fictions often represent only half truths. They show the right problem but often the wrong solution. Hence when people imitate the fictional characters of the movies, they end up making their lives more miserable. When a tipping point is reached in a society as more and more people start following such paths, these actions become acceptable to a large section of the society. Thereafter, it becomes impossible to reverse the cycle.”
Awdhesh Singh, Myths are Real, Reality is a Myth
