Marquez Quotes

• Se hundió en la mecedora, la misma en la que Rebeca se había sentado durante los primeros tiempos de la casa para dar lecciones de bordado, y en la que Amaranta había jugado a las damas chinas con el coronel Gerineldo Márquez, y en la que Amarana Úrsula había cosido la diminuta ropa para el niño, y en ese destello de lucidez tomó conciencia de que era incapaz de soportar en su alma el peso aplastante de tanto pasado.

• Durante mucho tiempo me ha gustado la ficción fabulista e imaginativa, como la de Italo Calvino, José Saramago, Michael Bulgakov y Salman Rushdie. También me gustan los escritores realistas mágicos, como Borges y Márquez, y creo que se pueden aprender verdades interesantes sobre nuestro mundo explorando mundos muy distorsionados.

• How will I ever get out of this labyrinth!" In reality, "How will I ever get out of this labyrinth!" were probably not Simon Bolivar's last words (although he did, historically, say them). His last words may have been "Jose! Bring the luggage. They do not want us here." The significant source for "How will I ever get out of this labyrinth!" is also Alaska's source, Gabriel Garcia Marquez's The General in his Labyrinth.

• For those fed up with the lack of mystery at the top of the Premiership, could I refer you to the commanding heights of the Conference. The wide points gap between first and second says we are about to witness the return to the football league of Accrington Stanley. So legendary have they become that everyone across the generations knows them, yet even those of the certain age required (you'd be pushing 60) can scarcely believe they were ever there. What proof do we have that this most Garcia Marquez of football teams was, is and yet may truly be?

• 'One Hundred Years of Solitude' convinced me to drop out of Harvard graduate school. The novel reminded me of everything my Ph.D. program was trying to make me forget. Thank you, Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

• The Anglo-American tradition is much more linear than the European tradition. If you think about writers like Borges, Calvino, Perec or Marquez, they're not bound in the same sort of way. They don't come out of the classic 19th-century novel, which is where all the problems start. 19th-century novels are fabulous and we should all read them, but we shouldn't write them.

• All things in my novels are real for me. Some western critics said that Garcia Marquez's novels are magic realism. However, I believe that Marquez must have experienced everything in his novels.

• I think that it's important to try to keep reality. I think that Gabriel Garcia Marquez speaks a lot about reality in his magical realism. So I don't think we have to be hyper-realistic. But we have to understand the pressures that undergird the lives of the characters within that novel.

• Muchos escritores se enamoran de sus frases o de la construcción de las mismas, y a veces eso está muy bien, pero no todo el mundo es Gabriel Garcia Marquez o James Joyce. A mucha gente le gusta fingir que lo son, y acaban por no ofrecer a la gente una buena lectura o por no iluminarla.

• Gabriel Garcia Marquez is one of my all-time favorite writers. I feel spiritual when reading his words, even though they're translated. I wish desperately that I could read it in its original language. I already feel like I'm going to church when I read him; imagine if I could read it in the original.
