"As a writer I'm merely a journalist..." - Quote by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

“A man should have two wives: one to love and one to sew on his buttons.”

“And again, as always, after so many years we were still in the same place we always were.”

“They looked like two children," she told me. And that thought frightened her, because she'd always felt that only children are capable of everything.”

“If I tried to write long-hand, I suppose I'd never finish a novel. I edit too much as I write - the paper would be "white-out" and sharpie marks. Writing with a computer works for me, so I stick with it.”

“The first draft of anything is sh*t.”

“Write about the thing that frightens you most.”

“So I became a newspaperman. I hated to do it but I couldnt find honest employment.”

“As the saying goes: "If you're not part of the solution, you're a newspaper columnist."”

“From forty years' experience of the wretched guess-work of the newspapers of what is not done in open daylight, and of their falsehood even as to that, I rarely think them worth reading, and almost never worth notice.”
