Gabriel Garcia Marquez
And both of them remained floating in an empty universe where the only everyday & eternal reality was love.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
I must try and break through the cliches about Latin America. Superpowers and other outsiders have fought over us for centuries in ways that have nothing to do with our problems. In reality we are all alone.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
For those who may be hurting over lost love: Don't cry because it is over... smile because it happened.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Cease, cows, life is short.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
He was weary of the uncertainty of the vicious circle of that eternal war that always found him in the same place, but always older, wearier, even more in the position of not knowing why, or how, or even when.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Gabriel Garcia Marquez
