Gabriel Garcia Marquez

The world must have been in its infancy then, and everything had a name of its own and there was no need to point.

Always remember that the most important thing in a good marriage is not happiness, but stability.

There is no greater glory than to die for love.

The only thing that I regret is not having died for love.

Ultimately, literature is nothing but carpentry. With both, you are working with reality, a material just as hard as wood.

The past is a lie. Memory has no road.

I've always said that the only reason I write is so that I can tell my friends how much I love them.

The two greatest obstacles to original writing are the desire to please and the fear of giving offense.

The only way to be a good writer is to be a good reader.

Writing is a solitary profession. The writer's work is a constant struggle against himself.

The writer is a public enemy, an outlaw, a subversive.

I've always been afraid of love because I've seen too many people destroyed by it.

I write to keep my loved ones alive.

The world is so recent that many things lack names, and in order to indicate them it is necessary to point.

Nobody deserves your tears, but whoever deserves them will not make you cry.

The first condition of a good writer is to be a good human being.

I've always been a communist.

I don't think I'm a good writer. I think I'm a good storyteller.

The only thing I regret is not having had more time to read.

I'm not a political writer. I'm a writer who writes about politics.
