― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

“Lost in the solitude of his immense power, he began to lose direction.”

“Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.”

“They could hear Ursula fighting against the laws of creation to maintain the line, and Jose Arcadio Buendia searching for the mythical truth of the great inventions, and Fernanda praying, and Colonel Aureliano Buendia stupefying himself with the deception of war and the little gold fishes, and Aureliano Segundo dying of solitude in the turmoil of his debauches, and then they learned that dominant obsessions can prevail against death and they were happy again with the certainty that they would go on loving each other in their shape as apparitions long after other species of future animals would steal from the insects the paradise of misery that the insects were finally stealing from man.”
― Gabriel Garcí­a Márquez, One Hundred Years of Solitude
