Please allow me to wipe the slate clean. Age has no reality except in the physical world. The essence of a human being is resistant to the passage of time. Our inner lives are eternal, which is to say that our spirits remain as youthful and vigorous as when we were in full bloom. Think of love as a state of grace, not the means to anything, but the alpha and omega. An end in itself. Florentino Ariza, Love in the Time of Cholera
Gabriel Garcia MarquezWhy were you so old when we met? I answered with the truth: Age isn't how old you are but how old you feel.
Gabriel Garcia MarquezIf I knew that today would be the last time Iād 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, Iād embrace you, kiss you, and call you back for one more. If I knew that this would be the last time I would hear your voice, Iād 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, Iād tell you I love you, and would not just assume foolishly you know it already.
