rip gabriel garcia marquez write in color quote birth over again Today we lost a legend, Nobel Prize winner and the father of Magic Realism, Gabriel García Márquez . The author of “One Hundred Years of Solitude and Love in the Time of Cholera, Márquez changed the way we see and experience the world through his words by making magic a natural part of our existence. Today we honor his legacy by living his message.

“He allowed himself to be swayed by his conviction that human beings are not born once and for all on the day their mothers give birth to them, but that life obliges them over and over again to give birth to themselves.” 

Gabriel García Márquez, Love in the Time of Cholera

I hope García Márquez inspires you to give birth to yourself, over and over again, especially if that means seeing and living the magic he believed in.
