Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Life is but a continual succession of opportunities for surviving.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Gabriel Garcia Marquez
The truth is I'm getting old, I said. We already are old, she said with a sigh. What happens is that you don't feel it on the inside, but from the outside everybody can see it.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
I don't believe in God, but I'm afraid of Him.
