About This Quote
In his book "Love in the Time of Cholera", Gabriel Garcia Marquez tells the story of a young man named Florentino Ariza. Florentino was a beautiful, ambitious young man in a time when women were still expected to stay in the home and take care of their children. He was a strong and vibrant person who seemed to have it all. However, that is not what made him different from other people in his day.
Instead, it was his ability to accept reality and see beauty in things that others would have found unnecessary to look at at all. In fact, he had so much love for the past that he found beauty in the most bitter of truths.
