"In spite of his feigned interest, _________ must understood the powers of the philosopher’s egg, which to him looked like a poorly blown bottle. He did not succeed in escaping from his worries. He lost his appetite and he could not sleep. He fell into an ill humor, the same as his father’s over the failure of his undertakings"
Jose Arcadio (2nd Generation)
"MANY YEARS LATER as he faced the firing squad, ______________ was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice"
Colonel Aureliano Buendía
"Tall, broad-shouldered, proud, always dressed in abundant petticoats with the lace and in air of distinction that resisted the years and bad memories, _____________ seemed to carry the cross of ashes of virginity on her forehead. In reality she carried it on her hand in the black bandage, which she did not take off even to sleep and which she washed and ironed herself. Her life was spent in weaving her shroud."
Amaranta
She had just finished saying it when Fernanda felt a delicate wind of light pull the sheets out of her hands and open them up wide. Amaranta felt a mysterious trembling in the lace on her petticoats and she tried to grasp the sheet so that she would not fall down at the instant in which___________ began to rise
Remedios the Beauty
"Warmed up by the persistence of his mentor, in a few months ___________ came to be as adept in theological tricks used to confuse the devil as he was skilled in the tricks of the cockpit."
José Arcadio Segundo
"___________ ended up forgetting about him, absorbed in the composition of his poems, but on one occasion he thought he understood something of what Melquíades was saying in his groping monologues, and he paid attention. In reality, the only thing that could be isolated in the rocky paragraphs was the insistent hammering on the word equinox, equinox, equinox, and the name of Alexander von Humboldt."
Colonel Aureliano Buendia
___________ felt humiliated and told Pietro Crespi with a virulent anger that she was prepared to stop her sister’s wedding even if her own dead body had to lie across the door. The Italian was so impressed by the dramatics of the threat that he could not resist the temptation to mention it to Rebeca.
Amaranta
It was the culmination of four weeks of shocks in the Moscote household because little __________ had reached puberty before getting over the habits of childhood. In spite of the fact that her mother had taught her about the changes of adolescence, one February afternoon she burst shouting into the living room, where her sisters were chatting with Aureliano, and showed them her panties, smeared with a chocolate-colored paste. A month for the wedding was agreed upon
Remedios
"____________ went back to the workshop. 'This is a disaster,' he said. 'Look at the air, listen to the buzzing of the sun, the same as yesterday and the day before. Today is Monday too.'"
Jose Arcadio Buendia (1st Generation)
"Against the light from the window, sitting with his hands on his knees, was Melquíades. He was under forty years of age. (...) just as __________ and José Arcadio had seen him when they were children. ___________ recognized him at once, because that hereditary memory had been transmitted from generation to generation and had come to him through the memory of his grandfather."
Aureliano Segundo
So Aureliano was still a virgin when ________ returned to Macondo and gave him a sisterly embrace that left him breathless. Every time he saw her, and worse yet when she showed him the latest dances, he felt the same spongy release in his bones that had disturbed his great-great-grandfather when Pilar Ternera made her pretexts about the cards in the granary.
Amaranta Ursula
___________ took her hand and let herself be led. The last time that Fernanda saw her, trying to keep up with the novice, the iron grating of the cloister had just closed behind her. She was still thinking about Mauricio Babilonia, his smell of grease, and his halo of butterflies, and she would keep on thinking about him for all the days of her life until the remote autumn morning when she died of old age, with her name changed and her head shaved and without ever having spoken a word, in a gloomy hospital in Cracow.
Meme
"Aureliano tried to calm down his drive. He recommended discretion and prudence to him. Deaf to his calm reasoning, to his sense of reality, __________ reproached him in public for his weakness of character."
Arcadio
That was how things were when _____________ deserted the federal troops in Nicaragua, signed on as a crewman on a German ship, and appeared in the kitchen of the house, sturdy as a horse, as dark and long-haired as an Indian, and with a secret determination to marry Amaranta.
Aureliano Jose
"Aureliano Jose felt ________ fingers searching across his stomach like warm and anxious little caterpillars. Pretending to sleep, he changed his position to make it easier, and then he felt the hand without the black bandage diving like a blind shellfish into the algae of his anxiety. Although they seemed to ignore what both of them knew and what each one knew that the other knew, from that night on they were yoked together in an inviolable complicity"
Amaranta's
Her mother and sisters suffered so much from the fear that the child would do something wrong during the ceremony that in the end they were the ones who committed the impertinence of picking her up to kiss her. From that day on the sense of responsibility, the natural grace, the calm control that ______________would have in the face of adverse circumstances was revealed. It was she who, on her own initiative, put aside the largest piece that she had cut from the wedding cake and took it on a plate with a fork to José Arcadio Buendía
Remedios
"In spite of the fact that a trip to the capital was little less than impossible at that time, __________ promised to undertake it as soon as the government ordered him to so that he could put on some practical demonstrations of his invention for the military authorities and could train them himself in the complicated art of solar war."
José Arcadio Buendía
____________ had never been more lucid in any act of his life as when he forgot about his dead ones and the pain of his dead ones and nailed up the doors and windows again with Fernanda’s crossed boards so as not to be disturbed by any temptations of the world, for he knew then that his fate was written in Melquíades’ parchments.
Aureliano Buendia- Last Generation
At dawn on Monday they brought a woman who recited cauterizing prayers that were infallible for man and beast beside her bed, but ___________ passionate blood was insensible to any artifice that did not come from love. In the afternoon, after twenty-four hours of desperation, they knew that she was dead because the flow had stopped without remedies and her profile became sharp and the blotches on her face evaporated in a halo of alabaster and she smiled again.
Amaranta Ursula's
When the government withdrew the guard, one of them continued living in the house and was in her service for many years. On New Year’s Day, driven mad by rebuffs from ____________, the young commander of the guard was found dead under her window
