"The people one loves should take all..." - Quote by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

“Let me stay here," he said. "There was soap.”

“He thought about his people without sentimentality, with a strict closing of his accounts with life, beginning to understand how much he really loved the people he hated most.”

“Take advantage of it now, while you are young, and suffer all you can, because these things don't last your whole life.”

“Look at the moon. How strange the moon seems! She is like a woman rising from a tomb. She is like a dead woman. One might fancy she was looking for dead things.”

“Cowards die many times before their actual deaths.”

“There are dreadful moments when death comes very near those we love, even if for the time being it passes by. But life is a great adventure, and the worst of all fears is the fear of living.”

“Mama, don't take my Kodachrome away.”

“And to lose the chance to see frigatebirds soaring in circles above the storm, or a file of pelicans winging their way homeward across the crimson afterglow of the sunset, or a myriad terns flashing in the bright light of midday as they hover in a shifting maze above the beach -- why, the loss is like the loss of a gallery of the masterpieces of the artists of old time.”

“I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died. If I never loved I never would have cried...I am a rock.”
