Quote by Frances de Pontes Peebles

“We all take for granted things that come too easily. That's why I can't let you go--you're always a challenge to me. Here's my wow to you, here's all I believe: For you, I'll stay invisble. I"ll be the air you breathe.”

“Obojica su istodobno spoznala da je tamo unutra uvijek ožujak i stalno ponedjeljak, shvativši da José Arcadio Buendía nije bio tako lud kako je obitelj mislila, već, štoviše, jedini dovoljno oštrouman da nasluti istinu o vremenu; i ono je bilo podložno greškama i kojekakvim nezgodama, tako da se moglo skrhati i u nekoj sobi zaboraviti jedan okršak za vječnost.”
