Love in the Time of Cholera

by Gabriel García Márquez

“I’ll have plenty of time to rest when I die, but this eventuality is not yet part of my plans.”

“Each man is master of his own death, and all that we can do when the time comes is to help him die without fear of pain.”

Neither could have said if their mutual dependence was based on love or convenience, but they had never asked the question with their hands on their hearts because both had always preferred not to know the answer.

wisdom comes to us when it can no longer do any good.
