Explore "But I Prefer Dreaming" by Jorge Luis Borges on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, April 1980
I think I am concerned with images rather than with ideas. I am not capable of abstract thinking. Even of what the Greeks did and what the Hebrews did, I tend to think not in terms of reason but of fables and metaphors. That's my stock in trade. Of course I have to reason now and then. I do it in a very clumsy way. But I prefer dreaming.
