More quotes by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
She would not shed a tear, she would not waste the rest of her years simmering in the maggot broth of memory.
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
Amputees suffer pains, cramps, itches in the leg that is no longer there. That is how she felt without him, feeling his presence where he no longer was.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Gabriel Garcia Marquez

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
Hate and love are reciprocal passions.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
To all, I would say how mistaken they are when they think that they stop falling in love when they grow old, without knowing that they grow old when they stop falling in love...
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Many years later, in front of the firing squad, colonel Aureliano Buendía would remember that distant afternoon his father took him to see ice.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Life had already given him sufficient reasons for knowing that no defeat was the final one.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Crazy people are not crazy if one accepts their reasoning.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
She was a ghost in a strange house that overnight had become immense and solitary and through which she wandered without purpose, asking herself in anguish which one of them was deader: the man who had died or the woman he had left behind.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Humanity, like armies in the field, advances at the speed of the slowest.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Just as real events are forgotten, some that never were can be in our memories as if they happened.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Freedom is often the first casualty of war.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
I must warn you that the books I like are not necessarily the ones I think are the best. I like them for various reasons not always easy to explain.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
the bells of glory that announced to the world the good news that the uncountable time of eternity had come to an end
