Gabriel Garcia Marquez
There was a house at the foot of the tower, close to the thunder of the waves breaking against the cliffs, where love was more intense because it seemed like a shipwreck.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
The only regret I will have in dying is if it is not for love.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Fame is very agreeable, but the bad thing is that it goes on 24 hours a day.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Unfortunately many young writers are more concerned with fame than with their own work... It's much more important to write than to be written about.
