Florentino Ariza
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, and end in itself.
I love you, my crowned goddess.
After 53 years, seven months and 11 days and night, my heart was at last fulfilled. And I discovered, to my joy, that it is life and not death that has no limits.
Shoot me. There is no greater glory than to die for love.
Prepare yourself for a shock.
I have discovered the reason of my exist.
(his uncle:I am not a rich man. I am a poor man with money. There is a difference.)
(his mother:Then enjoy your pain, take advantage of it now while you are young. And suffer, my son, suffer all you can, because these things don't last your whole life.)


Fermina Urbino
The only thing that hurts me is that I don't have enough strength to give you the beating that you deserve for being so insolent and evil-minded . But you will leave this house right now and I swear to you on my mother's grave that you will not set foot in it again as long as I live. Life crippled that poor man 50 years ago, because he was too young and now you want to do it because we are too old.
Florentino Ariza is not a human. He is a shadow…a ghost.
(her husband: I love you above all else. More than anyone else in the world. The important thing in marriage is not happiness but stability.) And love. Nothing is more difficult than love.
He is a good man, is a very good husband. I can't imagine a better one. But when I look back, I suppose there were more difficult peace than pleasure, too many useless arguments, too much anger. It is incredible, how one can be happy for so many years in the meets of so many problems.


love letter
My beautiful and beloved flower, nobody can cut the stem of our love, my life, my soul. Be strong. Don't give up, because our love is deeper than the deepest ocean.
