I've been a story-teller all my life but I realized it only recently.
Isabel Allende
Image
I have travelled all over the world and one thing that amazes me is that I can communicate with people. My story may be different but emotionally we are all the same.
Isabel Allende

Reading is like looking through several windows which open to an infinite landscape....For me life without reading would be like being in prison, it would be as if my spirit were in a straightjacket life would be a very dark and narrow place.

Youth is not a period in life but a state of mind.
Isabel Allende
Image
I think the spirit survives when we die, and nothing is wasted in nature and just as our material body disintegrates and becomes something else in the soil. The spirit becomes something else, reunites with a spiritual force that is out there in the universe. Not as individuals but as part of this spirituality.
Isabel Allende

I'm not willing to sign a contract. They want everything. They want the rights to do the movie and everything else they can think of, forever. There's no limit to the contract. In this universe and universes to be discovered - I'm not making this up - this is in the contract.

Isabel Allende

I was a very bad journalist. Awful. I would just invent everything. If I did an interview, I had a preconception of what that person should say and I would put my words in his mouth.
Isabel Allende
Image
Writing is my job. I don't think of it as art.
Isabel Allende
Image
He was not oppressed by a crowd because in the midst of all the hullabaloo he always found a quiet place for his soul.
Isabel Allende
Image
We all have an unsuspected reserve of strength inside that emerges when life puts us to the test.
Isabel Allende
Image
How many times have I told you not to believe everything you hear? Seek truth for yourself.
Isabel Allende
Image
There is room in the human heart for all the divinities.
Isabel Allende
Image
As my Popo used to say, life is a tapestry we weave day by day with threads of different colors, some heavy and dark, others thin and bright, all the threads having their uses. The stupid things I did are already in the tapestry, indelible, but I’m not going to be weighed down by them till I die. What’s done is done I have to look ahead.

His calls for justice were lost at the mercy of the wind and human indifference.
Isabel Allende
Image
I was born in ancient times, at the end of the world, in a patriarchal Catholic and conservative family. No wonder that by age five I was a raging feminist - although the term had not reached Chile yet, so nobody knew what the heck was wrong with me.

Roots are not in landscape or a country, or a people, they are inside you.
