    “This book was under arrest, along with its author. This event occurred on March 27, 1986. During that time, the totalitarian system in East Europe was called socialism and even by the scientific nonsense and absurd names of Communism and Communist system. In this system, the official ideology was allegedly Marxism, but really it could not endure any Marxist criticism. Since this “socialist” system was afraid of the weapon of criticism, it applied criticism of the weapon against its own citizens, as Marx would have said.”

    Gabriel García Márquez
    “لو كنت أعرف أنها المرة الأخيرة التى أراك فيها نائمة، لضممتك بقوة بين ذراعى ولتضرعت إلى الله أن يجعلنى حارسا لروحك. لو كنت أعرف أنها الدقائق الأخيرة التى أراك فيها، لقلت "أحبك"، ولتجاهلت - بخجل - أنك تعرفين ذلك.

    هناك دوما غدا، والحياة تمنحنا الفرصة لنفعل الأفضل، لكن لو أنى مخطئ وهذا هو يومى الأخير، أحب أن أقول كم أحبك، وأننى لن أنساك أبدا. لأن الغد ليس مضمونا، لا للشاب ولا للعجوز. ربما تكون فى هذا اليوم المرة الأخيرة التى ترى فيها أولئك الذين تحبهم. فلا تنتظر أكثر، تصرف اليوم لأن الغد قد لا يأتى، ولابد أن تندم على اليوم الذى لم تجد فيه الوقت من أجل ابتسامة أو عناق أو قبلة أو أنك كنت مشغولا كى ترسل لهم أمنية أخيرة. حافظ بقربك على من تحب، اهمس فى أذنهم بأنك بحاجة إليهم، أحببهم واهتم بهم، وخذ ما يكفى من الوقت لتقول لهم عبارات مثل: أفهمك، سامحنى، من فضلك، شكرا، وكل كلمات الحب التى تعرفها. لن يتذكرك أحد من أجل ما تضمر من أفكار، فأطلب من الرب القوة والحكمة للتعبير عنها. وبرهن لأصدقائك ولأحبائك كم هم مهمون لديك”
    Gabriel García Márquez
