More quotes by Isabel Allende

Isabel Allende
It is absurd to imagine that any child will be able to earn a living, let alone contribute to resolving our world's complex problems, without knowing how to read and write. My foundation supports the National Writing Project so that teachers can be more effective in their efforts to improve literacy for all students.
Isabel Allende
Feminism is dated? Yes, for privileged women like my daughter and all of us here today, but not for most of our sisters in the rest of the world who are still forced into premature marriage, prostitution, forced labor - they have children that they don't want or they cannot feed.
Isabel Allende
I am happier when I love than when I am loved. I adore my husband, my son, my grandchildren, my mother, my dog, and frankly, I don't know if they even like me. But who cares? Loving them is my joy.
Isabel Allende

Isabel Allende
When you make an omelet, as when you make love, affection counts for more than technique.
Isabel Allende
At my age days dissolve like salt in water the day's gone and I don't even know what I've done with the hours.
Isabel Allende
In the United States, the fact that you can start again gives a lot of energy and strength and youth to this country. That is why it's so powerful in many ways, and so creative.
Isabel Allende
I try desperately to conquer the transitory nature of my existence, to trap moments before they evenesce, to untangle the confusion of my past. Every instant disappears in a breath and immediately becomes the past reality is ephemeral and changing, pure longing.
Isabel Allende
Writers speak for those who are kept in silence
Isabel Allende
His calls for justice were lost at the mercy of the wind and human indifference.
Isabel Allende
My books are based on emotions, feelings, relationships. In these areas women are experts, so it's not strange that the main characters of my novels are females.
Isabel Allende
Aphrodite is about lust and gluttony - the only two sins worth committing, in my opinion.
Isabel Allende
Fiction happens in the womb. It doesn't get processed in the mind until you do the editing.
Isabel Allende
Happiness is pure kitch we come into the world to suffer and learn.
Isabel Allende
How accommodating love is it forgives everything.
Isabel Allende
