Gabriel Garcia Marquez Quotes

The most important thing Paris gave me was a perspective on Latin America. It taught me the differences between Latin America and Europe and among the Latin American countries themselves through the Latins I met there Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Life is not what one lived, but what One remembers and how One remembers it in order to recount it Picture Quote #1

In the plenitude of their relationship, Florentina Ariza asked himself which of the two was love: the turbulent bed or the peaceful Sunday afternoons, and Sara Noriega calmed him with the simple argument that love was everything they did naked. She said, ‘Spiritual love from the waist up and physical love from the waist down Picture Quote #1

She always had a headache, or it was too hot, always, or she pretended to be asleep, or she had her period again, her period, always her period. So much so that Dr. Urbino had dared to say in class, only for the relief of unburdening himself without confession, that after ten years of marriage women had their periods as often as threes times a week Picture Quote #1

I never had intimate friends, and the few who came close are in New York. By which I mean they’re dead, because that’s where I suppose condemned souls go in order not to endure the truth of their past lives Picture Quote #1

Florentina Ariza had kept his answer ready for fifty-three years, seven months and eleven days and nights. ‘Forever,’ he said Picture Quote #1

In the end all books are written for your friends. The problem after writing One Hundred Years of Solitude was that now I no longer know whom of the millions of readers I am writing for; this upsets and inhibits me. It’s like a million eyes are looking at you and you don’t really know what they think Picture Quote #1

But that afternoon he asked himself, with his infinite capacity for illusion, if such pitiless indifference might not be a subterfuge for hiding the torments of love Picture Quote #1

If you’re going to be a writer you have to be one of the great ones... After all, there are better ways to starve to death Picture Quote #1

People spend a lifetime thinking about how they would really like to live. I asked my friends and no one seems to know very clearly. To me it’s very clear now. I wish my life could have been like the years when I was writing ‘Love in the Time of Cholera.’ Picture Quote #1

And both of them remained floating in an empty universe where the only everyday and eternal reality was love Picture Quote #1

Opened the door a crack wide enough for the entire world to pass through Picture Quote #1

I don’t know who said that novelists read the novels of others only to figure out how they are written. I believe it’s true. We aren’t satisfied with the secrets exposed on the surface of the page: we turn the book around to find the seams Picture Quote #1

I’ll never fall in love again... it’s like having two souls at the same time Picture Quote #1

She searched the truth with an anguish almost as great as her terrible fear of finding it Picture Quote #1

She discovered with great delight that one does not love one’s children just because they are one’s children but because of the friendship formed while raising them Picture Quote #1

Always remember that the most important thing in a good marriage is not happiness, but stability Picture Quote #1

I was asked the other day if I would be interested in the Nobel Prize, but I think that for me it would be an absolute catastrophe. I would certainly be interested in deserving it, but to receive it would be terrible. It would just complicate even more the problems of fame. The only thing I really regret in life is not having a daughter Picture Quote #1

No, not rich. I am a poor man with money, which is not the same thing Picture Quote #1

Nobody deserves your tears, but whoever deserves them will not make you cry Picture Quote #1

The only everyday and eternal reality was love Picture Quote #1

Nothing one does in bed is immoral if it helps to perpetuate love Picture Quote #1

Everyone has three lives: a public life, a private life, and a secret life Picture Quote #1

It is not true that people stop pursuing dreams because they grow old, they grow old because they stop pursuing dreams Picture Quote #1

One minute of reconciliation is worth more than a whole life of friendship! Picture Quote #1

Disbelief is more resistant than faith because it is sustained by the senses Picture Quote #1

Humanity, like armies in the field, advances at the speed of the slowest Picture Quote #1

Races condemned to 100 years of solitude did not have a second opportunity on earth Picture Quote #1

A lie is more comfortable than doubt, more useful than love, more lasting than truth Picture Quote #1
