Gabriel Garcia Marquez Quotes

But In Those Solitary Masses They Began To Be Aware That Once Again They Were Mistresses Of Their Fate, After Having Renounced Not Only Their Family Name But Their Own Identity In Exchange For A Security That Was No More Than Another Of A Bride's Many Illusions. They Alone Knew How Tiresome Was The Man They Loved To Distraction, Who Perhaps Loved Them But Whom They Had To Continue Nurturing Until His Last Breath As If He Were A Child, Suckling Him, Changing His Soiled Diapers, Distracting Him With A Mother's Tricks To Ease His Terror At Going Out Each Morning To Face Reality. And Nevertheless, When They Watched Him Leave The House, This Man They Themselves Had Urged To Conquer The World, Then They Were The Ones Left With The Terror That He Would Never Return. That Was Their Life. (4.113)
