Love in Time of Cholera - Gabriel Garcia Marquez

"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..... only then did he understand to what extent he had been an easy victim to the charitable deceptions of nostalgia"

"that may be the reason he does so many things," she said, "so that he will not have time to think." -Leona Cassiani, kawan F. Ariza on Dr. Urbino

No one described him better that he did when someone accused him of being rich. "No, not rich," he said. "i am a poor man with money, which is not the same thing." -Uncle Leo XII


"The only regret i will have in dying is if it is not for love." -quote; Pius V Loayza, Florentino Ariza's father
