Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Gabriel Garcia Marquez
She would walk through the kitchen at any hour, whenever she was hungry, and put her fork in the pots and eat a little of everything without placing anything on a plate, standing in front of the stove, talking to the serving women, who were the only ones with whom she felt comfortable, the ones she got along with best.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
I don't believe in God, but I'm afraid of Him.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
opened the door a crack wide enough for the entire world to pass through .
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Her heart of compressed ash, which had resisted the most telling blows of daily reality without strain, fell apart with the first waves of nostalgia.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Fatality makes us invisible.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
What does he say?' he asked. 'He’s very sad,’ Úrsula answered, ‘because he thinks that you’re going to die.' 'Tell him,' the colonel said, smiling, 'that a person doesn’t die when he should but when he can.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
It's enough for me to be sure that you and I exist at this moment.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
I'll never fall in love again... it's like having two souls at the same time.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Fiction was invented the day Jonas arrived home and told his wife that he was three days late because he had been swallowed by a whale.
