Fame invades your private life. It takes away from the time that you spend with friends, and the time that you can work. It tends to isolate you from the real world.

Gabriel Garcia Marquez
He could not understand why he had needed so many words to explain what he felt in war because one was enough: fear. ~Jose Aracadio Segundo Buendia After the second banana slaughter

Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Children's lies are signs of great talent.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
And both of them remained floating in an empty universe where the only everyday & eternal reality was love.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Her nakedness was not absolute, for like Manet's _Olympia__, behind her ear she had a poisonous flower with orange petals, and she also wore a gold bangle on her right wrist and a necklace of tiny pearls. I imagined I would never see anything more exciting for as long as I lived, and today I can confirm that I was right.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
He really had been through death, but he had returned because he could not bear the solitude.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Gabriel Garcia Marquez
A man knows when he is growing old because he begins to look like his father.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Gabriel Garcia Marquez
A famous writer who wants to continue writing has to be constantly defending himself against fame.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
I always had understood that dying of love was mere poetic license.
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
It had to teach her to think of love as a state of grace: not the means to anything but the alpha and omega, an end it itself.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
She knew that it would not be easy to submit to his miserliness, or the foolishness of his premature appearance of age, or his maniacal sense of order, or his eagerness to as for everything and give nothing at all in return, but despite all this, no man was better company because no other man in the world was so in need of love.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
As a writer I'm merely a journalist who has learned to write better than others.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
races condemned to 100 years of solitude did not have a second opportunity on earth.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Don't struggle so much, the best things happen when not expected.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
