Wisdom Quote by Gabriel García Márquez — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Human beings are not born once and for all on the day their mothers give birth to them, but ... life obliges them over and over again to give birth to themselves.”

“It's enough for me to be sure that you and I exist at this moment.”

“I became aware that the invincible power that has moved the world is unrequited, not happy, love.”

“nothing in this world was more difficult than love.”

“Dr. Urbino caught the parrot around the neck with a triumphant sigh: ça y est. But he released him immediately because the ladder slipped from under his feet and for an instant he was suspended in the air and then he realized that he had died without Communion, without time to repent of anything or to say goodbye to anyone, at seven minutes after four on Pentecost Sunday.”

“That casual glance was the beginning of a cataclysm of love that had still not ended half a century later.”

“Fiction is written with reality and reality is written with fiction. We can write fiction because there is reality and we can write reality because there is fiction; everything we consider today to be myth and legend, our ancestors believed to be history and everything in our history includes myths and legends. Before the splendid modern-day mind was formed our cultures and civilizations were conceived in the wombs of, and born of, what we identify today as "fiction, unreality, myth, legend, fantasy, folklore, imaginations, fabrications and tall tales." And in our suddenly realized glory of all our modern-day "advancements" we somehow fail to ask ourselves the question "Who designated myths and legends as unreality? " But I ask myself this question because who decided that he was spectacular enough to stand up and say to our ancestors "You were all stupid and disillusioned and imagining things" and then why did we all decide to believe this person? There are many realities not just one. There is a truth that goes far beyond what we are told today to believe in. And we find that truth when we are brave enough to break away from what keeps everybody else feeling comfortable. Your reality is what you believe in. And nobody should be able to tell you to believe otherwise.”

“Some truths arrive slowly, like fog rolling in. You don’t see them all at once, but they change everything you thought was solid.”

“When you look back and realize someone was ahead of their time, it’s because you’re living the reality they built. Vision only ever seems obvious in hindsight.”

“There's a divinity that shapes our ends,”
