Life, Jorge Luis Borges

Life itself is a quotation.

- Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986), [Quoted in Cool Memories (1987) by Jean Baudrillard, (trans. 1990) Ch. 5; heard by Baudrillard at a lecture given in Paris.]

인생 그 자체가 인용구입니다.

Universe, Jorge Luis Borges

It is clear that there is no classification of the Universe that is not arbitrary and full of conjectures. The reason for this is very simple: we do not know what kind of thing the universe is.

- Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986), in "The Analytical Language of John Wilkins" in Other Inquisitions (1952), as translated by Will Fitzgerald

우주의 분류 중 임의적이거나 추측으로 가득차지 않은 것은 없다는 것이 명백합니다. 그 이유는 매우 단순합니다. 우리는 우주가 어떤 종류의 것인지 모르기 때문입니다.

Mystery, Jorge Luis Borges

I have sometimes suspected that the only thing that holds no mystery is happiness, because it is its own justification.

- Jorge Luis Borges, "Unworthy", In Praise of Darkness (1969), tr. Andrew Hurley, Collected Fictions (1998)

# Animal, Jorge Luis Borges

The minotaur more than justifies the existence of the labyrinth.

- Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986), "Ibn-Hakim Al-Bokhari, Murdered in His Labyrinth", in The Aleph (1949); tr. Andrew Hurley, Collected Fictions (1998)

미노타우로스(Minotaur)는 미로의 존재를 정당화 시키는 그 이상입니다.

# Universe, Jorge Luis Borges

Universal history is the history of a few metaphors.

- Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986), "Pascal’s Sphere" ["La esfera de Pascal"] (1951)

Variant translations: Perhaps universal history is the history of the diverse intonation of some metaphors.
It may be that universal history is the history of the different intonations given a handful of metaphors.

우주의 역사는 몇가지 은유의 역사입니다.
