More quotes by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Always tell what you feel. Do what you think.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Gabriel Garcia Marquez
A falcon who chases a warlike crane can only hope for a life of pain.
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
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

It's like a million eyes are looking at you and you don't really know what they think.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
One of the most difficult things is the first paragraph. I have spent many months on a first paragraph, and once I get it, the rest just comes out very easily.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
And again, as always, after so many years we were still in the same place we always were.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Fame is very agreeable, but the bad thing is that it goes on 24 hours a day.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
I think that the idea that I'm writing for many more people than I ever imagined has created a certain general responsibility that is literary and political. There's even pride involved, in not wanting to fall short of what I did before.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
She would say, Someone should invent something to do with things you cannot use anymore but that you still cannot throw out.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
A famous writer who wants to continue writing has to be constantly defending himself against fame.
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
Fatality makes us invisible.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
