She would defend herself, saying that love, no matter what else it might be, was a natural talent. She would say: You are either born knowing how, or you never know. Gabriel Garcia Marquez
The only certainty was that they took everything with them: money, December breezes, the bread knife, thunder at 3 in the afternoon, the scent of jasmines, love. All that remained were the dusty almond trees, the reverberating streets, the houses of wood and roofs of rusting tin with their taciturn inhabitants, devastated by memories. Gabriel Garcia Marquez
we had made love without love, half-dressed most of the time and always in the dark so we could imagine ourselves as better than we were. Gabriel Garcia Marquez
