I try to let go of the intellect and just tell the story. I only read the page I have in front of me on the screen. Then when the whole story is told, I print it, wait a week and read it.

More quotes by 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.
Isabel Allende
I like Hillary Clinton a lot. I know her.
Isabel Allende
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
You write a book and it's like putting a message in a bottle and throwing it in the ocean. You don't know if it will ever reach any shores. And there, you see, sometimes it falls in the hands of the right person.
Isabel Allende
I get hundreds of emails daily and a lot of feedback from people that are reading or have read my books. When I'm writing, or in my daily life, I just think of the work. I love to tell a story, but I might work with a story to make it the best I can without thinking of how many people will read it or if it will influence anybody.
Isabel Allende
I need to tell a story. It's an obsession. Each story is a seed inside of me that starts to grow and grow, like a tumor, and I have to deal with it sooner or later.
Isabel Allende
My books are written from personal experience, from memories, and from stories that come to me from all places.
Isabel Allende
The first lie of fiction is that the author gives some order to the chaos of life: chronological order, or whatever order the author chooses.
Isabel Allende
I love my dog unconditionally, but never the man I'm sleeping with.
Isabel Allende
There is no light without shadow, just as there is no happiness without pain.
Isabel Allende
I was born in the middle of World War II, the middle of the Holocaust I was born when there was no declaration of human rights, when feminism was not an issue, when children were working in factories. I mean, today's world is a better place!
Isabel Allende
Feminism has never been sexy, but let me assure you that it never stopped me from flirting, and I have seldom suffered from lack of men.
Isabel Allende
How many times have I told you not to believe everything you hear? Seek truth for yourself.
Isabel Allende
write with honesty and don't worry about the feelings of others, because no matter what you say, they'll hate you anyway.
Isabel Allende
I don't want to die in pain or in an undignified way, I don't want any of the people I love to die in, die painfully. But I'm aware of the fact that they may die before I do and I have to part with them and take the loss. The hardest thing of love is to let go. But I think I can get let go of almost anybody.
Isabel Allende
I love fiction because in fiction you go into the thoughts of people, the little people, the people who were defeated, the poor, the women, the children that are never in history books.
Isabel Allende
The library is inhabited by spirits that come out of the pages at night.
Isabel Allende
Writing is a process, a journey into memory and the soul.
Isabel Allende
I tend to see the similarities in people and not the differences.
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.
