And, just as happens in dreams, in Borges the incongruous, the absurd, the contradictory, the arcane and the repetitive, although as powerfully imaginative as ever, are at the same time illumined like the careful details of something larger, something unknown, and are the faultless elements of a cruelly perfect, indifferent mosaic. Even the fact that Borges's work is strangely fragmentary makes me think of a broken dreamlike flow; and the heterogeneous quality of his work - stories, essays, poems - I prefer to see not as the union of the multiple threads in a greedy, impatient talent, but as a mysterious sign of unending change.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Federico Fellini" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/federico-fellini/borges-is-particularly-stimulating-to-a-man-who-works-in-the-cinema/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/1ad/federico-fellini-4845_borges_borges-is-particularly-stimulating-to-a_746530.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/1ad/federico-fellini-4845_borges_borges-is-particularly-stimulating-to-a_746530.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/1ad/federico-fellini-4845_borges_borges-is-particularly-stimulating-to-a_746530.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Borges is particularly stimulating to a man who works in the cinema, because the unusual thing about his…” — Federico Fellini", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/borges-incongruous/federico-fellini/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/borges-incongruous/federico-fellini/", "name": "Borges Incongruous Quotes by Federico Fellini", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/borges-incongruous/federico-fellini/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/1ad/federico-fellini-4845_borges_borges-is-particularly-stimulating-to-a_746530.jpg" }, "description": "1 Borges Incongruous quotes by Federico Fellini.
