Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Humanity, like armies in the field, advances at the speed of the slowest.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
To oppression, plundering and abandonment, we respond with life.
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
And both of them remained floating in an empty universe where the only everyday & eternal reality was love.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Gabriel Garcia Marquez
If you love something - let. If it is yours - it will come back. I love you not because of who you are, but for who I am when I'm with you.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
[The captain] looked at Florentino Ariza, his invincible power, his intrepid love and was overwhelmed by the belated suspicion that it is life, more than death, that has no limits.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
A great commotion immobilized her in her center of gravity, planted her in her place, and her defensive will was demolished by the irresistible anxiety to discover what the orange bells and whistles and the invisible globes on the other side of death were like.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
A man knows when he is growing old because he begins to look like his father.
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
It's enough for me to be sure that you and I exist at this moment.
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
It is not true that people stop pursuing dreams because they grow old, they grow old because they stop pursuing dreams.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
i discovered that my obsession for having each thing in the right place, each subject at the right time, each word in the right style, was not the well-deserved reward of an ordered mind, but just the opposite: a complete system of pretense invented by me to hide the disorder of my nature.
