The phrase "maggot broth of memory" is a powerful and vivid metaphor from a quote by Gabriel García Márquez.
The full quote is:
"She would not shed a tear, she would not waste the rest of her years simmering in the maggot broth of memory."
This quote is a stark expression of choosing to move on from a painful or toxic past, rather than dwelling in memories that rot and consume the present. The source of the quote is often attributed to the collection of his quotes, but it captures the dark, lyrical, and visceral quality of his writing style, particularly in works like Love in the Time of Cholera or One Hundred Years of Solitude.
