Don't open that door, she said. The hallway is full of difficult dreams. And I asked her: How do you know? And she told me: Because I was there a moment ago and I had to come back when I discovered I was sleeping on my heart.

More quotes by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
I have waited for this opportunity for more than half a century, to repeat to you once again my vow of eternal fidelity and everlasting love.
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
The people one loves should take all their things with them when they die.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Ah, me, if this is love, then how it torments.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
This was when I heard that the first symptom of old age is when you begin to resemble your father.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
He said that love was an emotion contra natura that condemned two strangers to a base and unhealthy dependence, and the more intense it was, the more ephemeral.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
My most important problem was destroying the lines of demarcation that separate what seems real from what seems fantastic.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
He thought that the world would make more rapid progress without the burden of old people.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
To oppression, plundering and abandonment, we respond with life.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
She would walk through the kitchen at any hour, whenever she was hungry, and put her fork in the pots and eat a little of everything without placing anything on a plate, standing in front of the stove, talking to the serving women, who were the only ones with whom she felt comfortable, the ones she got along with best.
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
He thought about his people without sentimentality, with a strict closing of his accounts with life, beginning to understand how much he really loved the people he hated most.
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
The weak would never enter the kingdom of love.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
In that way the long-awaited visit, for which both had prepared questions and had even anticipated answers, was once more the usual everyday conversation.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Gaston was not only a fierce lover, with endless wisdom and imagination, but he was also, perhaps, the first man in the history of the species who had made an emergency landing and had come close to killing himself and his sweetheart simply to make love in a field of violets.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
If you love something - let. If it is yours - it will come back. I love you not because of who you are, but for who I am when I'm with you.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
It is not that the girl is unfit for everything, it is that she is not of this world.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Then the writing became so fluid that I sometimes felt as if I were writing for the sheer pleasure of telling a story, which may be the human condition that most resembles levitation.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
As I kissed her the heat of her body increased, and it exhaled a wild, untamed fragrance.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
