Favorite Urbino Quotes

1. "Dr. Urbino replied without looking at her: "I did not know that fellow was a poet." And then he wiped him from his memory, because among other things, his profession had accustomed him to the ethical management of forgetfulness."
Author: Gabriel Garcí­a Márquez
2. "La gelosia non conosceva la sua casa: in più di trent'anni di pace coniugale, il dottor Urbino si era spesso vantato in pubblico, e fino ad allora ne era stato certo, di essere come i fiammiferi svedesi, che si accendono solo sulla loro scatola."
Author: Gabriel Garcí­a Márquez
3. "I understood this man was a Saint," he said."Something even rarer," said Dr. Urbino, "An atheistic saint. But those are matters for God to decide."
Author: Gabriel Garcí­a Márquez
4. "Dr. Urbino, prepared for a confidential visit, realized too late that there was no innocence more dangerous than the innocence of age."
Author: Gabriel Garcí­a Márquez
5. "In the parlor was a huge camera on wheels like the ones used in public parks, and the backdrop of a marine twilight, painted with homemade paints, and the walls papered with pictures of children at memorable moments: the first Communion, the bunny costume, the happy birthday. Year after year, during contemplative pauses on afternoons of chess, Dr. Urbino had seen the gradual covering over of the walls, and he had often thought with a shudder of sorrow that in the gallery of casual portraits lay the germ of the future of the city, governed and corrupted by those unknown children, where note even the ashes of his glory would remain."
Author: Gabriel Garcí­a Márquez
6. "Dr Urbino did not agree: in his opinion a Liberal president was exactly the same as a Conservative president, but not as well dressed."
Author: Gabriel Garcí­a Márquez
7. "She always had a headache, or it was too hot, always, or she pretended to be asleep, or she had her period again, her period, always her period. So much so that Dr. Urbino had dared to say in class, only for the relief of unburdening himself without confession, that after ten years of marriage women had their periods as often as threes times a week."
Author: Gabriel Garcí­a Márquez
8. "The truth is that Dr. Juvenal Urbino's suit had never been undertaken in the name of love, and it was curious, to say the least, that a militant Catholic like him would offer her only worldly goods: security, order, happiness, contiguous numbers that, once they were added together, might resemble love, almost be love. But they were not love, and these doubts increased her confusion, because she was also not convinced that love was really what she most needed to live."
Author: Gabriel Garcí­a Márquez
9. "That is how they were: they spent their lives proclaiming their proud origins, the historic merits of the city, the value of its relics, its heroism, its beauty, but they were blind to the decay of its years. Dr Juvenal Urbino, on the other hand, loved it enough to see it with the eyes of truth."

Today's Quote

She suffers according to the digitsof my hate. I hear the filamentsof alabaster. I would lie downwith them and lift my madnessoff like a wig. I would lieoutside in a room of wooland let the snow cover me.Paris white or flake whiteor argentine, all in the washbasinof my mouth, calling "Oh."I am empty. I am witless.Death is here. There is noother settlement."
