Gabriel Garcia Marquez
There [is] no innocence more dangerous than the innocence of age.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Invulnerable to time, dedicated to the messianic happiness of thinking for us, knowing that we knew that he would not take any decision for us that did not have our measure, for he had not survived everything because of his inconceivable courage or his infinite prudence but because he was the only one among us who knew the real size of our destiny.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
It is life, more than death, that has no limits.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
He thought that the world would make more rapid progress without the burden of old people.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
