Gabriel Garcia Marquez

I've always been a journalist. I've always been a reporter.

I don't believe in magic. I believe in reality.

I've always been fascinated by power.

I don't think I'm a genius. I think I'm a worker.

The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

Happiness is not a state of mind, but a way of traveling.
