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.

More quotes by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Gabriel Garcia Marquez

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
We'll grow old waiting.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
i discovered that my obsession for having each thing in the right place, each subject at the right time, each word in the right style, was not the well-deserved reward of an ordered mind, but just the opposite: a complete system of pretense invented by me to hide the disorder of my nature.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
No matter what you do this year or in the next hundred, you will be dead forever.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
I always had understood that dying of love was mere poetic license.
