More quotes by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
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
The only everyday and eternal reality was love.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
The woman let out an expansive laugh that resounded through the house like a spray of broken glass.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Old people, with other old people, are not so old.
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
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
And nevertheless, when they watched him leave the house, this man they themselves had urged to conquer the world, then they were the ones left with the terror that he would never return. That was their life. Love, if it existed, was something separate: another life.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Cease, cows, life is short.
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
The people of the United States are one of the people I most admire in the world. The only thing I don't understand is why a country that manages to do so well cannot do better in choosing its president.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
There was a house at the foot of the tower, close to the thunder of the waves breaking against the cliffs, where love was more intense because it seemed like a shipwreck.
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
Children's lies are signs of great talent.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
The weak would never enter the kingdom of love.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Morality, too, is a question of time.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
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.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Fame is very agreeable, but the bad thing is that it goes on 24 hours a day.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Necessity has the face of a dog.
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
I must try and break through the cliches about Latin America. Superpowers and other outsiders have fought over us for centuries in ways that have nothing to do with our problems. In reality we are all alone.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
