50. I have learned so much from you men... I have learned that
everybody wants to live at the top of the mountain without
realizing that true happiness lies in the way we climb the slope.
I have learned that when a newborn first squeezes his father's
finger in his tiny fist, he has caught him forever. I have learned
that a man only has the right to look down on another man when
it is to help him to stand up. I have learned so many things from
you, but in the end most of it will be no use because when they
put me inside that suitcase, unfortunately I will be dying.
Gabriel García Márquez: La Marioneta, The Puppet, If for a
moment God would forget that I am a rag doll and give me a
scrap of life…
gracias, Gabriel…

51. Tantas cosas he aprendido de ustedes los hombres... He
aprendido que todo el mundo quiere vivir en la cima de la
montaña, sin saber que la verdadera felicidad está en la forma
de subir la escarpada. He aprendido que cuando un recién
nacido aprieta con su pequeño puño por vez primera el dedo de
su padre, lo tiene atrapado para siempre. He aprendido que un
hombre únicamente tiene derecho de mirar otro hombre hacia
abajo, cuando ha de ayudarlo a levantarse. Son tantas cosas las
que he podido aprender de ustedes, pero finalmente de mucho
no habrán de servir porque cuando me guarden dentro de esta
maleta, infelizmente me estaré muriendo...
Gabriel García Márquez: La Marioneta, Si por un instante Dios se
olvidara de que soy una marioneta de trapo y me regalara un
trozo de vida…
gracias, Gabriel…
