It's always hard to find great writers who celebrate the heritage and passion that Latinos keep bottled up. Gabriel García Márquez was the first Columbian and only fourth Latino to win the Nobel Prize. Today I'd like to celebrate all the words Márquez shared with us and thank him for unleashing all the love, passion and dedication he had for life.

As I get older my memories are all I have of what has passed. And that's reality.
“What matters in life is not what happens to you but what you remember and how you remember it.”
But even so, sometimes we have to let go.
“She would not shed a tear, she would not waste the rest of her years simmering in the maggot broth of memory.”
Men will never understand women.
“If men gave birth, they'd be less inconsiderate.”
That there is always more than one truth.
"All human beings have three lives: public, private, and secret.”
Love really is infinite, not finite as we often imagine.
"My heart has more rooms in it than a whore house.”
Don't stop chasing that five year plan that's turned into 10.
“It is not true that people stop pursuing dreams because they grow old, they grow old because they stop pursuing dreams.”
