As a writer I'm merely a journalist who has learned to write better than others.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
As I kissed her the heat of her body increased, and it exhaled a wild, untamed fragrance.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Perhaps this is what the stories meant when they called somebody heartsick. Your heart and your stomach and your whole insides felt empty and hollow and aching.

Gabriel Garcia Marquez
If men gave birth, they'd be less inconsiderate.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Age isn't how old you are but how old you feel.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
He was still too young to know that the heart's memory eliminates the bad and magnifies the good, and that thanks to this artifice we manage to endure the burden of the past.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Amputees suffer pains, cramps, itches in the leg that is no longer there. That is how she felt without him, feeling his presence where he no longer was.
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
Ah, me, if this is love, then how it torments.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
It was a meditation on life, love, old age, death: ideas that had often fluttered around her head like nocturnal birds but dissolved into a trickle of feathers when she tried to catch hold of them.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
You have to have spent the night at sea, sitting in a life raft and looking at your watch, to know that the night is immeasurably longer than the day.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
