The author of this famous saying is Gabriel Garcia Marquez, a Colombian writer, journalist and social activist.
Gabriel Garcí a Má rquez is a representative of Latin American magical realism literature, one of the most influential writers in the 20th century, and the winner of 1982 Nobel Prize in Literature.
Marquez's famous saying:
No matter where you go, you should remember that the past is false, memory is an endless road, and all the past springs are gone forever. No matter how tenacious and enthusiastic love is, it is just a fleeting reality in the final analysis.
What really matters in life is not what happens to you, but what you remember and how you remember it.
Love, first of all, is an instinct, "to be or not to be."
