"nothing in this world was more difficult..." - Quote by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

“Nothing resembles a person as much as the way he dies.”

“An early-rising man is a good spouse but a bad husband.”

“I don't have a method. All I do is read a lot, think a lot, and rewrite constantly. It's not a scientific thing.”

“Love, all agreeable as it is, charms more by the fashion in which it displays itself, than by its own true merit.”

“Love makes the time pass. Time makes love pass.”

“You know, my boy, he said, it's impossible to love men such as they are. And yet we must. So try to do good to men by doing violence to your feelings, holding your nose, and shutting your eyes, especially shutting your eyes. Endure their villainy without anger, as much as possible; try to remember that you're a man too. For, if you're even a little above average intelligence, you'll have the propensity to judge people severely. Men are vile by nature and they'd rather love out of fear. Don't give in to such love: despise it always.”

“For it is easier to shout 'Stop', than to do it”

“But do you understand, I cry to him, do you understand that if you have the guillotine in the forefront, and with such glee, it's for the sole reason that cutting heads off is the easiest thing, and having an idea is difficult!”

“Writing is supposed to be difficult, agonizing, a dreadful exercise, a terrible occupation.”
