Chronicle of a Death Foretold by Gabriel García Márquez
"A lot of parallels to the stranger in my opinion. While Camus used the setting of murder to examine the psyche of an ordinary man (maybe psycho, I could never really tell, which is the point I think), García Marquez uses the setting of murder to exam" Read more of this review »

“Perhaps we can fly. All of us. How will we ever know unless we leap from some tall tower? No man ever truly knows what he can do unless he dares to leap.”

“My life amounts to no more than one drop in a limitless ocean. Yet what is any ocean, but a multitude of drops?”
David Mitchell, Cloud Atlas
