"He was still too young to know..." - Quote by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

“Humanity, like armies in the field, advances at the speed of the slowest.”

“One can be in love with several people at the same time, feel the sorrow with each, and not betray any of them.”

“Jealousy knows more than truth does.”

“In her final years she would still recall the trip that, with the perverse lucidity of nostalgia, became more and more recent in her memory.”

“Along the journey we commonly forget its goal. Almost every vocation is chosen and entered upon as a means to a purpose but is ultimately continued as a final purpose in itself. Forgetting our objectives is the most frequent stupidity in which we indulge ourselves.”

“Show me a mistress that is passing fair, what doth her beauty serve but as a note where I may read who pass'd that passing fair?”

“People asking questions, lost in confusion, well I tell them there's no problem, only solutions.”

“My uncle ordered popovers from the restaurant's bill of fare. And, when they were served, he regarded them with a penetrating stare. Then he spoke great words of wisdom as he sat there on that chair: "To eat these things," said my uncle, "You must exercise great care. You may swallow down what's solid, but you must spit out the air!" And as you partake of the world's bill of fare, that's darned good advice to follow. Do a lot of spitting out the hot air. And be careful what you swallow.”
