GABRIEL GARCÍA MÁRQUEZ (COLOMBIA WORD COLLAGE) | Eileen Aldis

This is a unique kind of travel video which is part of a series called Word Collage. Travelling around the world, one of my goals is to learn about people of special significance in the countries I visit. Inspired by them, I take various things they've written and said and arrange them into a sort of spoken word poem. I call it 'Word Collage' because all the quotes are lifted from different places and organized together in a new way. This video is inspired by Colombian writer, Gabriel García Márquez, and was shot in his former stomping grounds of Cartagena. Though he later settled in Mexico City, the Nobel Prize winner once said, “I would say that I completed my education as a writer in Cartagena.” He continued to visit family who lived there and his ashes are now laid to rest in the historic port city.

The first video in this series is a Mexico Word Collage inspired by Frida Kahlo which you can see here: http://bit.ly/2gp4kXN. We're making more of these videos in other countries and will add them to this playlist: http://bit.ly/2vxJ8te.

Here are the quotes used for this Word Collage:

"All human beings have three lives: public, private, and secret."

"What matters in life is not what happens to you but what you remember and how you remember it."

"It's enough for me to be sure that you and I exist at this moment."

"I love you not for whom you are, but who I am when I'm by your side."

"Don't struggle so much, the best things happen when not expected."

"Even when the winds of misfortune blow, amazing things can still happen."

"Hate and love are reciprocal passions."

"If I had a heart, I would write my hate on ice, and wait for the sun to show."

"There is great power in the irresistible force of love."

"Think of love as a state of grace not as a means to anything...but an end in itself."

"The heart's memory eliminates the bad and magnifies the good, and thanks to this artifice we manage to endure the burden of the past."

"I say extraordinary things in an ordinary tone."

"It's possible to get away with anything as long as you make it believable."

"Crazy people are not crazy if one accepts their reasoning."

"Sometimes we attribute certain things we do not understand to the demon, not thinking they may be things of God that we do not understand."

"The truth is that the first changes are so slow they pass almost unnoticed, and you go on seeing yourself as you always were, from the inside, but others observe you from the outside."

"In the end, it is impossible not to become what others believe you are." 

"It is not true that people stop pursuing dreams because they grow old, they grow old because they stop pursuing dreams."

"We'll grow old waiting."

"Justice limps along, but gets there all the same."

"Nobody teaches life anything."

"It is life, more than death, that has no limits."

"Fatality makes us invisible."

"No matter what, nobody can take away the dances you’ve already had."

"There is always something left to love."

"Open the door a crack wide enough for the entire world to pass through."

"Be calm. God awaits you at the door."
