It is not true that people stop pursuing dreams because they grow old, they grow old because they stop pursuing dreams.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Hate and love are reciprocal passions.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
The people of the United States are one of the people I most admire in the world. The only thing I don't understand is why a country that manages to do so well cannot do better in choosing its president.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
To all, I would say how mistaken they are when they think that they stop falling in love when they grow old, without knowing that they grow old when they stop falling in love...

Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Gabriel Garcia Marquez
I always had understood that dying of love was mere poetic license.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Fatality makes us invisible.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Both looked back then on the wild revelry...and they lamented that it had cost them so much of their lives to find the paradise of shared solitude.
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
He said that love was an emotion contra natura that condemned two strangers to a base and unhealthy dependence, and the more intense it was, the more ephemeral.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
To oppression, plundering and abandonment, we respond with life.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
The only regret I will have in dying is if it is not for love.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
