"...They grow old when they stop falling in love."

"To all men (women) I would say how mistaken they are
when they think that they stop falling in love
when they grow old, without knowing
that they grow old when they
stop falling in love."

~Gabriel "Gabo" Garcia Marquez

Gabriel José de la Concordia García Márquez' literary career includes novels, short stories, screenplays, and editorials. Mr. Marquez usually writes in a literary style formally known as magical realism. In 1982 he received the Nobel prize for literature.

Magical Realism involves the strange juxtaposition of both realistic and fantastical plot elements in the same story. For example, in his book "100 Years of Solitude" Marquez includes people with tails, gypsies with magic carpets and a disease that makes people forget how to sleep.

In 1967, "One Hundred Years of Solitude" is published to global acclaim, winning him several international awards.
