More quotes by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Nobody teaches life anything.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
It was, at last, real life, with my heart safe and condemned to die of happy love in the joyful agony of any day after my hundredth birthday.
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
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

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
The only Virgos left in the world are people like you who were born in August.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Gabriel Garcia Marquez
In the end all books are written for your friends.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
The interpretation of our reality through patterns not our own, serves only to make us ever more unknown, ever less free, ever more solitary.
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
Take advantage of it now, while you are young, and suffer all you can, because these things don't last your whole life.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Unfortunately many young writers are more concerned with fame than with their own work... It's much more important to write than to be written about.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
The problem in public life is learning to overcome terror the problem in married life is learning to overcome boredom.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Nobody is worth crying for, and those that are worth it will not make you cry.
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
She knew that it would not be easy to submit to his miserliness, or the foolishness of his premature appearance of age, or his maniacal sense of order, or his eagerness to as for everything and give nothing at all in return, but despite all this, no man was better company because no other man in the world was so in need of love.
