| 3548ad5 | At eighty-one years of age he had enough lucidity to realize that he was attached to this world by a few slender threads that could break painlessly with a simple change of position while he slept, and if he did all he could to keep those threads intact, it was because of his terror of not finding God in the darkness of death | lonliness | Gabriel García Márquez | |

| c1ed1a8 | Sitting in the wicker rocking chair with her interrupted work in her lap, Amaranta watched Aureliano Jose, his chin covered with foam, stropping his razor to give himself his first shave. His blackheads bled and he cut his upper lip as he tried to shape a mustache of blond fuzz, and when it was all over he looked the same as before, but the laborious process gave Amaranta the feeling that she had begun to grow old at that moment. | coming-of-age puberty youth | Gabriel García Márquez | |
| 8f6381a | Let me soap you," he murmured. "Thank you for your good intentions," she said, "but my two hands are quite enough." "Even if it's just your back," the foreigner begged. "That would be silly," she said. "People never soap their backs." | Gabriel García Márquez | ||
| c142b3f | The world is divided into those who screw and those who do not. | Gabriel García Márquez | ||
| 4afc34b | Tired of that hermeneutical delirium, the workers turned away from the authorities in Macondo and brought their complaints up to the higher courts. It was there that the sleight-of-hand lawyers proved that the demands lacked all validity for the simple reason that the banana company did not have, never had had, and never would have any workers in its service because they were all hired on a temporary and occasional basis. So that the fable .. | Gabriel García Márquez | ||

| 4e9ed2b | Her name was Pilar Ternera. She had been part of the exodus that ended with the founding of Macondo, dragged along by her family in order to separate her from the man who had raped her at fourteen and had continued to love her until she was twenty-two, but who never made up his mind to make the situation public because he was a man apart. He promised to follow her to the ends of the earth, but only later on, when he put his affairs in order.. | Gabriel García Márquez | ||
| ee7eb64 | But now it was he, not they, who crossed the street, so they would not see the tears he could no longer hold back, not his midnight tears, as he thought, but other tears: the ones he had been swallowing for fifty-one years, nine months and four days. | Gabriel García Márquez | ||

| a60b01b | Sone que asistia a mi propio entierro, a pie, caminando entre un grupo de amigos vestidos de luto solemne, pero con un animo de fiesta. Todos pareciamos dichosos de estar juntos. Y yo mas que nadie, por aquella grata oportunidad que me daba la muerte para estar con mis amigos de America Latina, los mas antiguos, los mas queridos, los que no veia desde hacia mas tiempo. Al final de la ceremonia, cuando empezaron a irse, yo intente acompanarl.. | Gabriel García Márquez | ||

| b46f86c | The only thing that [Amaranta] did not keep in mind in her fearsome plan was that in spite of her pleas to God she might die before Rebeca. That was, in fact, what happened. At the final moment, however, Amaranta did not feel frustrated, but, on the contrary, free of all bitterness because death had awarded her the privilege of announcing itself several years ahead of time. She saw it on one burning afternoon sewing with her on the porch a .. | one-hundred-years-of-solitude | Gabriel García Márquez | |

| 47e0235 | The uncle ignored Gracie's father. 'In any event,' he went on, 'when brewers combine hops with yeast and grain and water, and allow the mixture to ferment -- to rot -- it magically produces an elixir so gassy with blue-collar cheer, so regal with glints of gold, so titillating with potential mischief, so triumphantly refreshing, that it seizes the soul and thrusts it toward that ethereal plateau where, to paraphrase Baudelaire, all human wh.. | Tom Robbins | ||
| 6f902e3 | On the subject of Egypt, Ellen Cherry was so vague she thought Ramses II was a jazz piano player. From that, we might conclude that she was equally dumb about jazz. | Tom Robbins | ||

And then, if it happens to be someone I know and I`m feeling particularly saintly, I try to do something nice for him or her." | Kevin Henkes | ||

| 93d6bd7 | The Haight was awash in Christian charity. These kids, simultaneously jubilant and introspective, were practicing what their elders preached. The Haight was the New Testament: animated, activated, brought to life in living color. The naivete was so thick you could cut it with a Popsicle stick -- but so apparently was Christ's. Years later, on a wild African savannah a hundred miles from even the crudest settlement, a pride of lions on one h.. | Tom Robbins | ||
| 28f5b1d | I'm always astonished when readers suggest that I must write my novels while high on pot or (God forbid!) LSD. Apparently, there are people who confuse the powers of imagination with the effects of intoxication. Not one word of my oeuvre, not one, has been written while in an artificially altered state. Unlike many authors, I don't even drink coffee when I write. No coffee, no cola, no cigarettes. There was a time when I smoked big Havana c.. | Tom Robbins | ||
| 2038787 | One of the other musicians said that the tambourine is a female due to the fact that it makes a pretty jingle and is designed to be spanked. That is the more recent, patriarchal attitude, I suppose. | Tom Robbins | ||
| 927afba | Since the Goddess always has been honored in sacred groves, it is understandable that patriarchs, then as now, leaned toward deforestation. | Tom Robbins | ||
