“With her Florentino Ariza learned what he had already experienced many times without realizing it: that one can be in love with several people at the same time, feel the same sorrow with each, and not betray any of them.

“What matters in life is not what happens to you but what you remember and how you remember it.”
“If I knew that today would be the last time I’d see you, I would hug
you tight and pray the Lord be the keeper of your soul. If I knew that
this would be the last time you pass through this door, I’d embrace you,

the last time I would hear your voice, I’d take hold of each word to be
able to hear it over and over again. If I knew this is the last time I
see you, I’d tell you I love you, and would not just assume foolishly
you know it already.”
“Nobody deserves your tears, but whoever deserves them will not make you cry.”
“Human beings are not born once and for all on the day their mothers
give birth to them, but ... life obliges them over and over again to
give birth to themselves.”

not scale, no fortress she will not destroy, no moral consideration she
will not ignore at its very root: there is no God worth worrying
about.”
