More quotes by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Gabriel Garcia Marquez
She was a ghost in a strange house that overnight had become immense and solitary and through which she wandered without purpose, asking herself in anguish which one of them was deader: the man who had died or the woman he had left behind.

Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Never stop smiling not even when you're sad, someone might fall in love with your smile.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
The only Virgos left in the world are people like you who were born in August.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
It was the last that remained of a past whose annihilation had not taken place because it was still in a process of annihilation, consuming itself from within, ending at every moment but never ending its ending.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Necessity has the face of a dog.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Ultimately, literature is nothing but carpentry. With both you are working with reality, a material just as hard as wood.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Invulnerable to time, dedicated to the messianic happiness of thinking for us, knowing that we knew that he would not take any decision for us that did not have our measure, for he had not survived everything because of his inconceivable courage or his infinite prudence but because he was the only one among us who knew the real size of our destiny.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
The truth is that the first changes are so slow they pass almost unnoticed, and you go on seeing yourself as you always were, from the inside, but others observe you from the outside.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Gabriel Garcia Marquez
