More quotes by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
As a writer I'm merely a journalist who has learned to write better than others.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
She felt the abyss of disenchantment.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
i discovered that my obsession for having each thing in the right place, each subject at the right time, each word in the right style, was not the well-deserved reward of an ordered mind, but just the opposite: a complete system of pretense invented by me to hide the disorder of my nature.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Fame is very agreeable, but the bad thing is that it goes on 24 hours a day.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Ultimately, literature is nothing but carpentry. With both you are working with reality, a material just as hard as wood.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
As I kissed her the heat of her body increased, and it exhaled a wild, untamed fragrance.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
It was, at last, real life, with my heart safe and condemned to die of happy love in the joyful agony of any day after my hundredth birthday.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
The interpretation of our reality through patterns not our own, serves only to make us ever more unknown, ever less free, ever more solitary.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
They looked like two children, she told me. And that thought frightened her, because she'd always felt that only children are capable of everything.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
In the end all books are written for your friends. The problem after writing One Hundred Years of Solitude was that now I no longer know whom of the millions of readers I am writing for this upsets and inhibits me. It's like a million eyes are looking at you and you don't really know what they think.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
It is not true that people stop pursuing dreams because they grow old, they grow old because they stop pursuing dreams.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
She let him finish, scratching his head with the tips of her fingers, and without his having revealed that he was weeping from love, she recognized immediately the oldest sobs in the history of man.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Life is but a continual succession of opportunities for surviving.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
I always had understood that dying of love was mere poetic license.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
We'll grow old waiting.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
When I wake up, he said, remind me that I'm going to marry her.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Necessity has the face of a dog.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
In journalism just one fact that is false prejudices the entire work. In contrast, in fiction one single fact that is true gives legitimacy to the entire work. That's the only difference, and it lies in the commitment of the writer. A novelist can do anything he wants so long as he makes people believe in it.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Give me a prejudice and I will move the world.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
The people one loves should take all their things with them when they die.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
