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
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
The weak would never enter the kingdom of love.
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
In the end all books are written for your friends.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
