Love in the Time of Cholera Quotes

“Não admitia que os conflitos com a esposa tivessem origem no ar rarefeito da casa, atribuindo-os à natureza mesma do casamento: uma invenção absurda que só podia existir pela graça infinita de Deus. Ia contra toda razão científica que duas pessoas apenas conhecidas, sen parentesco nenhum entre si, com caracteres diferentes, com culturas diferentes, e até com sexos diferentes, se vissem comprometidas de repente a viver juntas, a dormir na mesma cama, a compartilhar dois destinos que talvez estivessem determinados em sentidos diferentes. Dizia: "O problema do casamento é que se acaba todas as noites depois de se fazer o amor, e é preciso tornar a reconstruí-lo todas as manhãs antes do café.”

“His mother knew before he told her because he lost his voice and his appetite, and spent the entire night tossing and turning in his bed. But when he began to wait to the answer to his first letter, his anguish was complicated by diarrhea and green vomit. He became disoriented and suffered from sudden fainting spells, and his mother was terrified because his condition did not resemble the turmoil of love so much as the devastation of cholera….because he had the weak pulse, the hoarse breathing, and the pale perspiration of a dying man. But his examination revealed that he had no fever, no pain anywhere, and that his only concrete feeling was an urgent desire to die. All that was needed was shrewd questioning, first of the patient and then of his mother, to conclude once again that the symptoms of love were the same as those of cholera.”
