"He thought about his people without sentimentality,..." - Quote by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

“I plead youth as a mitigating circumstance.”

“I have waited for this opportunity for more than half a century, to repeat to you once again my vow of eternal fidelity and everlasting love.”

“I must warn you that the books I like are not necessarily the ones I think are the best. I like them for various reasons not always easy to explain.”

“They are the privileged lovers who create a new world with their eyes of fiery passion.”

“One can find women who have never had one love affair, but it is rare indeed to find any who have had only one.”

“The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing, and becomes nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change, grow or love. Chained by his certitude, he is a slave; he has forfeited his freedom. Only the person who risks is truly free.”

“Returning hate, adding deeper darkness to a night that is already void of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”

“We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.”

“Let no man pull you so low as to hate him.”
