I
LOVE Gabriel Garcia Marquez. I remember when a friend gave me a copy of
Love in the Time of Cholera back in 1997, I couldn't put it down. After that I read
100 Years of Solitude and enjoyed it just as much. Below are a collection of quotes from Marquez' novels that I stole from the web site
www.shortlist.com They did a nice job of gathering 30 of his greatest quotes... here are my favorites from that list.
(And now I have even more books I want to read!)
Memories Of My Melancholy Whores (2004)
"No
matter what, nobody can take away the dances you've already had."
Love In
The Time of Cholera (1985)
"One
does not love one's children just because they are one's children but because
of the friendship formed while raising them."
Love In
The Time of Cholera (1985)
"The
world is divided into those who screw and those who do not."
No One
Writes To The Colonel (1961)
"He
who awaits much can expect little."
The
General In His Labyrinth (1989)
"There
is great power in the irresistible force of love."
Love In
The Time of Cholera (1985)
"The
problem in public life is learning to overcome terror; the problem in married
life is learning to overcome boredom."
One
Hundred Years of Solitude (1967)
"One
minute of reconciliation is worth more than a whole life of friendship"
The
Autumn of the Patriarch (1975)
"Even
the broadest and most useful of lives only reach the point of learning how to
live"
Memories
Of My Melancholy Whores (2004)

matter what you do this year or in the next hundred, you will be dead
forever."
