"She searched the truth with an anguish..." - Quote by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

“It was the year they fell into devastating love. Neither one could do anything except think about the other, dream about the other, and wait for letters with the same impatience they felt when they answered them.”

“If I knew that today would be the last time I’d see you, I would hug you tight and pray the Lord be the keeper of your soul. If I knew that this would be the last time you pass through this door, I’d embrace you, kiss you, and call you back for one more. If I knew that this would be the last time I would hear your voice, I’d take hold of each word to be able to hear it over and over again. If I knew this is the last time I see you, I’d tell you I love you, and would not just assume foolishly you know it already.”

“Everything that goes into my mouth seems to make me fat, everything that comes out of my mouth embarrasses me.”

“The Chinese government wants me to say that for many centuries Tibet has been part of China. Even if I make that statement, many people would just laugh. And my statement will not change past history. History is history.”

“Biographies are but the clothes and buttons of the man. The biography of the man himself cannot be written.”

“All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they really happened and after you are finished reading one you feel that it all happened to you and after which it all belongs to you.”

“Too busy with the crowded hour to fear to live or die.”

“Human beings are the only animals of which I am thoroughly and cravenly afraid.”

“Some people are so afraid do die that they never begin to live.”
