More quotes by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Gabriel Garcia Marquez
I never had intimate friends, and the few who came close are in New York. By which I mean they're dead, because that's where I suppose condemned souls go in order not to endure the truth of their past lives.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez

It's like a million eyes are looking at you and you don't really know what they think.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Faulkner is a writer who has had much to do with my soul, but Hemingway is the one who had the most to do with my craft - not simply for his books, but for his astounding knowledge of the aspect of craftsmanship in the science of writing.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
If you love something - let. If it is yours - it will come back. I love you not because of who you are, but for who I am when I'm with you.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
A man knows when he is growing old because he begins to look like his father.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Sex is the consolation you have when you can't have love.
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
The woman let out an expansive laugh that resounded through the house like a spray of broken glass.
