“I have preferred to teach my students not English literature
but my love for certain authors, or, even better,
certain pages, or even better than that, certain lines.
One falls in love with a line, then with a page, then with an author.
Well, why not? It is a beautiful process.”
Argentine short story writer, poet, essayist, and translator
~Jorge Luis Borges
