Do you truly believe that life is fair, Senor de la Vega? -No, maestro, but I plan to do everything in my power to make it so.
Isabel Allende

Isabel Allende
My writing comes not from the happy moments, but from struggle and grief.
Isabel Allende
I'm always following the characters and I'm always interested in what happens to them, but what happens to them is conditioned by the circumstances in which they live.
Isabel Allende
I'm interested in people who have to overcome obstacles, people who are not sheltered by the umbrella of the establishment, marginals.
Isabel Allende
Everyone is born with some special talent.
Isabel Allende
If you change the way you tell your own story, you can change the colour and create a life in technicolour.
Isabel Allende
The library is inhabited by spirits that come out of the pages at night.
Isabel Allende
I'm such a control freak. I want to control even my own death. Decide when I will die and how.
Isabel Allende
Women have always been courageous... They are always fearless when protecting their children and in the last century they have been fearless in the fight for their rights.
Isabel Allende
So firm did Nivea's determination become that she wrote in her diary that she would give up marriage in order to devote herself completely to the struggle for women's suffrage. She was not aware that such a sacrifice would not be necessary, and that she would marry a man for love who would back her up in her political goals.
