More quotes by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Over the weekend the vultures got into the presidential palace by pecking through the screens on the balcony windows and the flapping of their wings stirred up the stagnant time inside, and at dawn on Monday the city awoke out of its lethargy of centuries with the warm, soft breeze of a great man dead and rotting grandeur.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
And nevertheless, when they watched him leave the house, this man they themselves had urged to conquer the world, then they were the ones left with the terror that he would never return. That was their life. Love, if it existed, was something separate: another life.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
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

Gabriel Garcia Marquez
I would like for my books to have been recognized posthumously, at least in capitalist countries, where they turn you into a kind of merchandise.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
The only regret I will have in dying is if it is not for love.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
At some point, you no longer feel pain. Sensation disappears and reason is dulled, until you lose all grasp of time and place.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Nothing one does in bed is immoral if it helps to perpetuate love.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
She let him finish, scratching his head with the tips of her fingers, and without his having revealed that he was weeping from love, she recognized immediately the oldest sobs in the history of man.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
And again, as always, after so many years we were still in the same place we always were.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
She knew that he loved her above all else, more than anything in the world, but only for his own sake.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Nobody is worth crying for, and those that are worth it will not make you cry.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
She would defend herself, saying that love, no matter what else it might be, was a natural talent. She would say: You are either born knowing how, or you never know.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Her nakedness was not absolute, for like Manet's _Olympia__, behind her ear she had a poisonous flower with orange petals, and she also wore a gold bangle on her right wrist and a necklace of tiny pearls. I imagined I would never see anything more exciting for as long as I lived, and today I can confirm that I was right.
