"It was, at last, real life, with..." - Quote by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

“The truth is that I know very few novelists who have been satisfied with the adaptation of their books for the screen.”

“She knew that he loved her above all else, more than anything in the world, but only for his own sake.”

“Today, when I saw you, I realized that what is between us is nothing more than an illusion.”

“Love does not analyze its object.”

“Fear knocked at the door. Love answered and no one was there.”

“Every woman wants to be first to someone sometime in her life and that desire is the explanation for many strange things women do.”

“If there ever was a pursuit which stultified itself by its very conditions, it is the pursuit of pleasure as the all-sufficing end of life. Happiness cannot come to any man capable of enjoying true happiness unless it comes as the sequel to duty well and honestly done. To do that duty you need to have more than one trait. From the greatest to the smallest, happiness and usefulness are largely found in the same soul, and the joy of life is won in its deepest and truest sense only by those who have not shirked life's burdens.”

“You cannot have a happy ending to a miserable journey.”

“In friendship as well as love, ignorance very often contributes more to our happiness than knowledge.”
