A man knows when he is growing old because he begins to look like his father.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
When you have a healthy appetite there is no such thing as bad bread.

Gabriel Garcia Marquez
We'll grow old waiting.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Nothing one does in bed is immoral if it helps to perpetuate love.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
It is impossible to explain. But what I like most is to eat.

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
There is bound to be someone driven mad by love who will give you the chance to study the effects of gold cyanide on a cadaver. And when you do find one, observe with care, they almost always have crystals in their heart
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
To oppression, plundering and abandonment, we respond with life.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Between the covers of the books that no one had ever read again, in the old parchments damaged by dampness, a livid flower had prospered, and in the air that had been the purest and brightest in the house an unbearable smell of rotten memories floated.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
In journalism just one fact that is false prejudices the entire work. In contrast, in fiction one single fact that is true gives legitimacy to the entire work. That's the only difference, and it lies in the commitment of the writer. A novelist can do anything he wants so long as he makes people believe in it.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
In the end all books are written for your friends. The problem after writing One Hundred Years of Solitude was that now I no longer know whom of the millions of readers I am writing for this upsets and inhibits me. It's like a million eyes are looking at you and you don't really know what they think.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
I discovered the miracle that all things that sound are music, including the dishes and silverware in the dishwasher, as long as they fulfill the illusion of showing us where life is heading.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Most critics don't realize that a novel like One Hundred Years of Solitude is a bit of a joke, full of signals to close friends and so, with some pre-ordained right to pontificate they take on the responsibility of decoding the book and risk making terrible fools of themselves.
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
Surrealism comes from the reality of Latin America.
