Give me a prejudice and I will move the world.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez

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
One can be in love with several people at the same time, feel the sorrow with each, and not betray any of them.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
The adolescents of my generation, greedy for life, forgot in body and soul about their hopes for the future until reality taught them that tomorrow was not what they had dreamed, and they discovered nostalgia.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez

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.
