Quotes About Possibility

I'm possibly possible.
~ Jonathan Safran Foer
The best reason to think that there could be a better future is the fact that we know just how bad the future could be.
~ Jonathan Safran Foer
Everything is possible again." It was the perfect thing to write, because that was exactly how it felt. We could retell our stories and make them better, more representative or aspirational. Or we could choose to tell different stories. The world itself had another chance.
~ Jonathan Safran Foer
La libertad consiste en ser capaz de elegir entre lo que es posible para mí y hacerme responsable de mi elección.
~ Jorge Bucay
Crecer significa aumentar el espacio que cada uno ocupa. En la medida que haya más espacio, habrá más posibilidades.

Mi historia personal puede condicionar mi elección, pero no me quita la posibilidad de elegir.
~ Jorge Bucay
No nos vamos a quedar sin posibilidad de amar a los otros si nos amamos a nosotros mismos
~ Jorge Bucay
Being an agnostic means all things are possible, even God, even the Holy Trinity. This world is so strange that anything may happen, or may not happen. Being an agnostic makes me live in a larger, a more fantastic kind of world, almost uncanny. It makes me more tolerant.
~ Jorge Luís Borges
Time forks perpetually toward innumerable futures. In one of them I am your enemy.
~ Jorge Luís Borges
A miracle has the right to impose conditions.
~ Jorge Luís Borges
The web of time - the strands of which approach one another, bifurcate, intersect, or ignore each other through the centuries - embraces every possibility. We do not exist in most of them. In some you exist and not I, while in others I do, and you do not, and in yet others both of us exist.
~ Jorge Luís Borges
This web of time – the strands of which approach one another, bifurcate, intersect or ignore each other through the centuries – embraces every possibility. We do not exist in most of them. In some you exist and not I, while in others I do, and you do not.
~ Jorge Luís Borges
There are no moral or intellectual merits. Homer composed the Odyssey; if we postulate an infinite period of time, with infinite circumstances and changes, the impossible thing is not to compose the Odyssey, at least once.
~ Jorge Luís Borges
I reflected that there is nothing less material than money, since any coin whatsoever (let us say a coin worth twenty centavos) is, strictly speaking, a repertory of possible futures.
~ Jorge Luís Borges
I leave to various future times, but not to all, my garden of forking paths.
~ Jorge Luís Borges
Sleepless, obsessed, almost joyful, I reflected on how nothing is less material than money, insamuch as any coin whatsoever (a twenty-centavo piece, let us say) is, strictly speaking, a repertory of possible futures. Money is abstract, I repeated, money is future time. It can be an evening in the suburbs, it can be the music of Brahms, it can be chess, it can be coffee, it can be the words of Epictetus teaching us to despise gold.
~ Jorge Luís Borges
Tanr?sal bir çiçeÄŸin ya da düÅŸüncedeki bir çiçeÄŸin, geleceÄŸin çiçeÄŸi olmas?, güncel zamanda atomlar? henüz birleÅŸmemiÅŸ ve farkl? yerlerde bulunan çeliÅŸkili bir çiçek olmas? daha da inan?lmaz.
~ Jorge Luís Borges
Posible, pero no interesante —respondió Lönnrot—. Usted replicará que la realidad no tiene la menor obligación de ser interesante. Yo le replicaré que la realidad puede prescindir de esa obligación, pero no las hipótesis.
~ Jorge Luís Borges
Il libro è una delle possibilità di felicità che abbiamo noi uomini.
~ Jorge Luís Borges
En todas las ficciones, cada vez que un hombre se enfrenta con diversas alternativas, opta por una y elimina las otras; en la del casi inextricable Ts'ui Pên, opta —simultáneamente— por todas. Crea, así, diversos porvenires, diversos tiempos, que también proliferan y se bifurcan.
~ Jorge Luís Borges
A realidade não tem a mínima obrigação de ser interessante ... A realidade pode prescindir dessa obrigação, mas não as hipóteses.
~ Jorge Luís Borges
Lo repito: basta que un libro sea posible para que exista. Sólo está excluido lo imposible. Por ejemplo: ningún libro es también una escalera, aunque sin duda hay libros que discuten y niegan y demuestran esa posibilidad y otros cuya estructura corresponde a la de una escalera.
~ Jorge Luís Borges
When you realize that eternity is right here now, that it is within your possibility to experience the eternity of your own truth and being, then you grasp the following: That which you are was never born and will never die. . . . (90)
~ Joseph Campbell
When you follow your bliss...doors will open where you would not have thought there would be doors, and where there wouldn't be a door for anyone else.
~ Joseph Campbell
