Gabriel García Márquez Zitate

„Sex ist der Trost, den Sie haben, wenn Sie keine Liebe haben können.“

„Alle Menschen haben drei Leben: öffentlich, privat und geheim.“

„Was im Leben zählt, ist nicht, was mit dir passiert, sondern woran du dich erinnerst und wie du dich daran erinnerst.“

„Keiner verdient deine Träne, denn der, der sie verdienen würde, würde dich nie zum weinen bringen.“

„Ein wahrer Freund ist der, der deine Hand nimmt, aber dein Herz berührt.“

„Das einzige Bedauern, das ich im Sterben haben werde, ist, wenn es nicht für die Liebe ist.“

„Sie würde sich verteidigen und sagen, dass Liebe, egal was auch immer, ein natürliches Talent sei. Sie würde sagen: Du wirst entweder geboren, wenn du weißt wie, oder du weißt es nie.“

„Es ist genug für mich, um sicher zu sein, dass du und ich in diesem Moment existieren.“

„Keine Medizin heilt, was Glück nicht kann.“

„DAS MEER DER VERLORENEN ZEIT: "Gegen Ende Januar wurde das Meer wieder rauh, begann das Dorf mit einem Haufen Unrat zu überschütten, und wenige Wochen später war von der unerträglichen Laune des Meeres alles vergiftet. Danach blieb die Welt sinnlos, zumindest bis zum nächsten Dezember, und niemand war nach acht Uhr noch wach. Doch in dem Jahr, als Señor Herbert kam, erzürnte sich das Meer nicht, nicht einmal im Februar. Im Gegenteil, es wurde immer glatter und schillernder und verströmte in den ersten Märznächten Rosenduft."“

„Als jemand ihm vorwarf, reich zu sein, definierte er es besser als jeder andere: "Nein, nicht reich", sagte er, "ich bin ein armer Schlucker mit Geld, und das ist nicht dasselbe.“

„Er war noch zu jung, um zu wissen, dass das Gedächtnis des Herzens das Böse beseitigt und das Gute vergrößert und dass wir dank dieses Kunstgriffs die Last der Vergangenheit ertragen können.“

„Weisheit kommt zu uns, wenn sie nichts mehr nützen kann.“

“No, not rich. I am a poor man with money, which is not the same thing.”

“I’ve remained a virgin for you.”

“He always considered death an unavoidable professional hazard.”

“He did not dare to console her, knowing that it would have been like consoling a tiger run thru by a spear.”

“To all, I would say how mistaken they are when they think that they stop falling in love when they grow old, without knowing that they grow old when they stop falling in love.”

“Just as real events are forgotten, some that never were can be in our memories as if they happened.”

“I'll never fall in love again… it's like having two souls at the same time.”

“My most important problem was destroying the lines of demarcation that separate what seems real from what seems fantastic.”

“For you was I born, for you do I have life, for you will I die, for you am I now dying.”

“There [is] no innocence more dangerous than the innocence of age.”

“Then the writing became so fluid that I sometimes felt as if I were writing for the sheer pleasure of telling a story, which may be the human condition that most resembles levitation.”

“It was a meditation on life, love, old age, death: ideas that had often fluttered around her head like nocturnal birds but dissolved into a trickle of feathers when she tried to catch hold of them.”

“… The girl raised her eyes to see who was passing by the window, and that casual glance was the beginning of a cataclysm of love that still had not ended half a century later.”

“For a week, almost without speaking,
they went ahead like sleepwalkers through a universe of grief, lighted only by the tenuous
reflection of luminous insects, and their lungs were overwhelmed by a suffocating smell of blood.”

“When I wake up," he said, "remind me that I'm going to marry her.”

“It is life, more than death, that has no limits.”

“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.”

“One could be happy not only without love, but despite it.”

“The secret of a good old age is simply an honorable pact with solitude.”

“It is not that the girl is unfit for everything, it is that she is not of this world.”

“Those who wanted to sleep, not from fatigue but because of the nostalgia of dreams…”

“For they had lived together long enough to know that love was always love, anytime and anyplace, but it was more solid the closer it came to death.”

“He was shaken by the overwhelming revelation that the headlong race between his misfortunes ad his dreams was at that moment reaching the finish line. The rest was darkness, 'Damn it,' he sighed. 'How will I ever get out of this labyrinth!”

“Make no mistake: peaceful madmen are ahead of the future.”

“She had that rare virtue of never existing completely except for that opportune moment”

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

“The truth is I'm getting old, I said. We already are old, she said with a sigh. What happens is that you don't feel it on the inside, but from the outside everybody can see it.”

“I go to seek a great perhaps”

“The problem in public life is learning to overcome terror; the problem in married life is learning to overcome boredom.”
