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.

Gabriel Garcia Marquez
And again, as always, after so many years we were still in the same place we always were.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez

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
Hate and love are reciprocal passions.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
As a writer I'm merely a journalist who has learned to write better than others.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
and it was always without pretensions of loving or being loved although always in the hope of finding something that resembled love but without the problems of love.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Take advantage of it now, while you are young, and suffer all you can, because these things don't last your whole life.
