"It is not that the girl is..." - Quote by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

“But that afternoon he asked himself, with his infinite capacity for illusion, if such pitiless indifference might not be a subterfuge for hiding the torments of love.”

“I never had intimate friends, and the few who came close are in New York. By which I mean they're dead, because that's where I suppose condemned souls go in order not to endure the truth of their past lives.”

“I would not have traded the delights of my suffering for anything in the world.”

“I am not in the roll of common men.”

“Every great man is unique.”

“The moose is singularly grotesque and awkward to look at. Why should it stand so high at the shoulders? Why have so long a head? Why have no tail to speak of?”

“The man who does not wish to be one of the mass only needs to cease to be easy on himself.”

“Thank goodness for all the things you are not, thank goodness you're not something someone forgot, and left all alone in some punkerish place, like a rusty tin coat hanger hanging in space.”

“All the knowledge I possess everyone else can acquire, but my heart is all my own.”
