More quotes by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
She would walk through the kitchen at any hour, whenever she was hungry, and put her fork in the pots and eat a little of everything without placing anything on a plate, standing in front of the stove, talking to the serving women, who were the only ones with whom she felt comfortable, the ones she got along with best.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
The weak would never enter the kingdom of love.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
It is not that the girl is unfit for everything, it is that she is not of this world.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Gabriel Garcia Marquez
As I kissed her the heat of her body increased, and it exhaled a wild, untamed fragrance.
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
It is impossible to explain. But what I like most is to eat.
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
the bells of glory that announced to the world the good news that the uncountable time of eternity had come to an end
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
A famous writer who wants to continue writing has to be constantly defending himself against fame.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Nobody is worth crying for, and those that are worth it will not make you cry.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
The truth is that the first changes are so slow they pass almost unnoticed, and you go on seeing yourself as you always were, from the inside, but others observe you from the outside.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Necessity has the face of a dog.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
She knew that it would not be easy to submit to his miserliness, or the foolishness of his premature appearance of age, or his maniacal sense of order, or his eagerness to as for everything and give nothing at all in return, but despite all this, no man was better company because no other man in the world was so in need of love.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Very well, I will marry you if you promise not to make me eat eggplant.
