Her heart of compressed ash, which had resisted the most telling blows of daily reality without strain, fell apart with the first waves of nostalgia.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
It was a love of perpetual flight.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
The weak would never enter the kingdom of love.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Her nakedness was not absolute, for like Manet's _Olympia__, behind her ear she had a poisonous flower with orange petals, and she also wore a gold bangle on her right wrist and a necklace of tiny pearls.

Gabriel Garcia Marquez
All my life, I've been frightened at the moment I sit down to write.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Nothing one does in bed is immoral if it helps to perpetuate love.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
The world is divided into those who screw and those who do not. He distrusted those who did not—when they strayed form the straight and narrow it was something so unusual for them that they bragged about love as if they had just invented it.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
It had to teach her to think of love as a state of grace: not the means to anything but the alpha and omega, an end it itself.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Fame is very agreeable, but the bad thing is that it goes on 24 hours a day.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Nothing resembles a person as much as the way he dies.
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
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 God hadn't rested on Sunday, He would have had time to finish the world.
