More quotes by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
And again, as always, after so many years we were still in the same place we always were.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
I must try and break through the cliches about Latin America. Superpowers and other outsiders have fought over us for centuries in ways that have nothing to do with our problems. In reality we are all alone.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Love does not die, when someone gets old, people get old, because they can not love anymore.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez

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

Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Inspiration gives no warnings.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
He always considered death an unavoidable professional hazard.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Between the covers of the books that no one had ever read again, in the old parchments damaged by dampness, a livid flower had prospered, and in the air that had been the purest and brightest in the house an unbearable smell of rotten memories floated.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
She would not shed a tear, she would not waste the rest of her years simmering in the maggot broth of memory.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
To oppression, plundering and abandonment, we respond with life.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
In the end all books are written for your friends.
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.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Everyone has three lives: a public life, a private life, and a secret life.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
No matter what you do this year or in the next hundred, you will be dead forever.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
