More quotes by Isabel Allende
In terrible moments, in moments of revolution, of war or repression, of illness or death, people react with incredible strength.
Isabel Allende
We want a world where life is preserved, and the quality of life is enriched for everybody, not only for the privileged.
Isabel Allende
When I started working in a feminist feminine magazine all my life was about rebelling against male authority, which is authority in general is male, so it was rebelling against everything. Everything that was around me made me angry.
Isabel Allende
A book is not an end in itself it is only a way to touch someone - a bridge extended across a space of loneliness and obscurity - and sometimes it is a way of winning other people to our causes.
Isabel Allende
Empowering women means trusting them.
Isabel Allende
His calls for justice were lost at the mercy of the wind and human indifference.
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.
Isabel Allende
I seek truth and beauty in the transparency of an autumn leaf, in the perfect form of a seashell on the beach, in the curve of a woman's back, in the texture of an ancient tree trunk, but also in the elusive forms of reality.
Isabel Allende
Happiness is pure kitch we come into the world to suffer and learn.
Isabel Allende
fiction happens in the belly, it doesn't happen in the brain.
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
My life is about ups and downs, great joys and great losses.
Isabel Allende
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
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
The one that came really easy was the Japanese lover, because he's like a ghost in the book. He's always in the background like a spirit, like a shadow, almost. There's a very delicate line there.
Isabel Allende
That was a good time in my life, in spite of having the sensation of floating on a cloud, surrounded by both lies and things left unspoken. Occasionally I thought I glimpsed the truth, but soon found myself once again lost in a forest of ambiguities.
Isabel Allende
I'm aware of the mystery around us, so I write about coincidences, premonitions, emotions, dreams, the power of nature, magic.
Isabel Allende
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.
Isabel Allende
Just as Daniel Balalcazar said, it makes no sense to suffer in advance a misfortune that may never occur.
Isabel Allende
I have learned many things in the 30 years that I have been writing.
Isabel Allende
