Gabriel Garcia Marquez

The only way to overcome death is to leave something behind.

I have always believed that it is easier to be a writer than a human being.

The heart has more room than a brothel.

The day they make me stop writing, I'll stop living.

No matter what, nobody can take away the dances you've already had.

The sea was a blue millpond and the sky a blue silk.

I've always thought that the only way to write a good novel is to be a liar.

It's enough for me to be convinced that I, at this moment, am alive and that I am not dreaming.

Tell him yes. Even if you are dying of fear, even if you are sorry later, because whatever you do, you will be sorry all the rest of your life if you say no.

The world is not ending, I am just getting old.

I come from a country where people are always trying to reinvent themselves.

The problem with love is that it's just a chemical reaction.

I have always been a very superstitious person.

The writer's task is to invent reality.

I don't think there is anything more difficult than writing a book.

I learned to write by reading.

The world needs a little magic.

I have always been a very solitary person.

The greatest danger for me is to take myself too seriously.

I don't believe in writer's block.
