The longer I live, the more uninformed I feel. Only the young have an explanation for everything.
Isabel Allende
Image
I'm interested in people who have to overcome obstacles, people who are not sheltered by the umbrella of the establishment, marginals.
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

You only have what you give. It’s by spending yourself that you become rich.
Isabel Allende
Image
When love exists, nothing else matters, not life’s predicaments, not the fury of the years, not a physical winding down or scarcity of opportunity.
Isabel Allende
Image
My life is about ups and downs, great joys and great losses.
Isabel Allende

The world starts to exist, for Americans, when we are in conflict with a place. And then all of a sudden, Afghanistan pops up on the TV screen and it becomes a place. And it exists for three weeks and then it disappears into thin air.

Aphrodite is about lust and gluttony - the only two sins worth committing, in my opinion.
Isabel Allende

Roots are not in landscape or a country, or a people, they are inside you.
Isabel Allende
Image
Heart is what drives us and determines our fate.
Isabel Allende
Image
I'm very optimistic because I think that the real strength of a nation like the United States comes from blending cultures. There's no way that you can close the frontiers anywhere. The borders are there to be violated permanently.
Isabel Allende
Image
She was considered timid and morose. Only in the country, her skin tanned by the sun and her belly full of ripe fruit, running through the fields with Pedro Tercero, was she smiling and happy. Her mother said that that was the real Blanca, and that the other one, the one back in the city, was a Blanca in hibernation.
Isabel Allende
Image
At the most difficult moments of my life, when it seemed that every door was closed to me, the taste of those apricots comes back to comfort me with the notion that abundance is always within reach, if only one knows how to find it.
Isabel Allende
Image
Music is a wind that blows away the years, memories, and fear, that crouching animal I carry inside me.
Isabel Allende
Image
You are my angel and my damnation in your presence I reach divine ecstasy and in your absence I descent to hell.
Isabel Allende
Image
She never imagined a scenario in which her love was not returned with the same depth of feeling, for to her it was impossible to believe that a love of such magnitude could have stunned only her. The most elementary logic and justice indicated that somewhere in the city he was suffering the same delicious torment.

Image
My son, the Holy Church is on the right, but Jesus Christ was always on the left.
Isabel Allende
Image
My worst flaw is that I tell secrets, my own and everybody else's.
Isabel Allende
Image
I'm such a control freak. I want to control even my own death. Decide when I will die and how.
