“He was still too young to know that the heart's memory eliminates the bad and magnifies the good, and that thanks to this artifice we manage to endure the burden of the past.”
― Gabriel García Márquez, Love in the Time of Cholera

“It was the time when they loved each other best, without hurry or excess, when both were most conscious of and grateful for their incredible victories over adversity. Life would still present them with other mortal trails, of course, but that no longer mattered: they were on the other shore. ”
― Gabriel García Márquez, Love in the Time of Cholera

“Take advantage of it now, while you are young, and suffer all you can, because these things don't last your whole life.”
― Gabriel García Márquez, Love in the Time of Cholera

“Je continuais à lire des illustrés, mais plus de livres qui remplissaient mon crâne et élargissaient mon front. Les lire, c'était pour moi prendre le large en bateau, mon nez étant la proue, et les lignes les vagues. J'allais lentement, à la rame, passant sur un mot que je ne comprenais pas, sans fouiller dans les dictionnaires. Il restait approximatif, dans l'attente d'être compris. Je devais y arriver tout seul, en trouver le sens à travers d'autres occasions, à force de le rencontrer.”
― Erri De Luca, I pesci non chiudono gli occhi
