Gabriel Gabo Garcia Marquez, RIP Some may consider your writings as journalistic literature but to me, those were my political readings that shaped my early thoughts and socialization. Top ten quotes from Gabo: What matters in life is not what happens to you but what you remember and how you remember it.” “It is not true that people stop pursuing dreams because they grow old, they grow old because they stop pursuing dreams.” “Nobody deserves your tears, but whoever deserves them will not make you cry.” “There is always something left to love.” “A true friend is the one who holds your hand and touches your heart.” “A lie is more comfortable than doubt, more useful than love, more lasting than truth.” “The problem with marriage is that it ends every night after making love, and it must be rebuilt every morning before breakfast.” “Crazy people are not crazy if one accepts their reasoning.” “Age isn’t how old you are but how old you feel.” “I became aware that the invincible power that has moved the world is unrequited, not happy, love.” In 1982 while accepting the Nobel prize for literature, Gabo said: Poets and beggars, musicians and prophets, warriors and scoundrels, all creatures of that unbridled reality, we have had to ask but little of imagination, for our crucial problem has been a lack of conventional means to render our lives believable. Asked about his ambitions as a writer: I dont really like to say this because it never sounds sincere, he continued, but I would really have liked for my books to have been published after my death, so I wouldnt have to go through all this business of fame and being a great writer.
