More quotes by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
The only regret I will have in dying is if it is not for love.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Four geological eras had to pass so that human beings would be able to outsing the birds and die for love.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
When you have a healthy appetite there is no such thing as bad bread.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
There is no greater glory than to die for love.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Today, when I saw you, I realized that what is between us is nothing more than an illusion.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
And nevertheless, when they watched him leave the house, this man they themselves had urged to conquer the world, then they were the ones left with the terror that he would never return. That was their life. Love, if it existed, was something separate: another life.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Age isn't how old you are but how old you feel.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Crazy people are not crazy if one accepts their reasoning.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Nothing one does in bed is immoral if it helps to perpetuate love.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
In that way the long-awaited visit, for which both had prepared questions and had even anticipated answers, was once more the usual everyday conversation.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
