Quotes About Funes

~ Jorge Luís Borges
I suspect, nevertheless, that he was not very capable of thought. To think is to forget a difference, to generalize, to abstract. In the overly replete world of Funes there were nothing but details, almost contiguous details. The equivocal clarity of dawn penetrated along the earthen patio.
~ Jorge Luís Borges
Había dicho al principio que los hombres de la época de Funes tenían dos caras, dos existencias, una colonial, otra republicana.
~ Domingo Faustino Sarmiento
