You have to have spent the night at sea, sitting in a life raft and looking at your watch, to know that the night is immeasurably longer than the day.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
There's no greater misfortune than dying alone.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
we had made love without love, half-dressed most of the time and always in the dark so we could imagine ourselves as better than we were.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
