Jorge Luis Borges

Sharing

Any time something is written against me, I not only share the sentiment but feel I could do the job far better myself. Perhaps I should advise would-​be enemies to send me their grievances beforehand, with full assurance that they will receive my every aid and support. I have even secretly longed to write, under a pen name, a merciless tirade against myself.


Jorge Luis Borges, “Autobiographical Notes,” The New Yorker (September 11, 1970)
