Book cover for Peace Like a River: A Novel
Along American turnpikes he had failed to peddle vacuum cleaners, saucepans, patent medicines, candy, cufflinks, hairpieces. (I didn’t know all this at the time, but would learn it soon, gracefully worded, in his obituary.)

Gabriel García Márquez
“They looked like two children," she told me. And that thought frightened her, because she'd always felt that only children are capable of everything.”
Gabriel García Márquez, Chronicle of a Death Foretold

Norton Juster
“If you want sense, you'll have to make it yourself.”
Norton Juster, The Phantom Tollbooth

“you are a woman, forget about it. With all the cultural advancements, middle-class and professional women of this era have gained the freedom to have their own lives and careers without the need for marriage. Having a husband and kids isn’t a prerequisite to having a well-rounded, fulfilling adult life anymore. To be clear, I’m not saying that filling that traditional housewife role over being a professional is a bad thing to do today, and I know that the decisions women make about work are complicated. Also, I’m not saying that women who do choose careers hate their kids, etc. Am I clear here? I’M NOT SHITTING ON ANYONE’S LIFE CHOICE (unless the choice is to smoke crack and treat your kids like the Mo’Nique character treats Precious in the movie Precious). But what’s important is that more women than ever are able to make that choice for themselves. Even”
Aziz Ansari, Modern Romance: An Investigation

Gabriel García Márquez
“To all, I would say how mistaken they are when they think that they stop falling in love when they grow old, without knowing that they grow old when they stop falling in love.”
Gabriel Garcia Marquez (Author)

Gabriel García Márquez
“Today, when I saw you, I realized that what is between us is nothing more than an illusion.”
Gabriel Garcí­a Márquez, Love in the Time of Cholera
