More quotes by Isabel Allende
Give, give, give - what is the point of having experience, knowledge or talent if I don't give it away? Of having stories if I don't tell them to others? Of having wealth if I don't share it? I don't intend to be cremated with any of it! It is in giving that I connect with others, with the world and with the divine.
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.

Isabel Allende
Conceit is a privilege of the ignorant the wise man is humble because he knows how little he knows.
Isabel Allende
No complaining about how hard it is to write, we are all so, so lucky to write, to sit down, inside, and write words on paper. There is no greater freedom, no greater good, nothing that brings more joy.
Isabel Allende
We are too connected. There's noise in our heads all the time.
Isabel Allende
If I write something, I fear it will happen, and if I love too much, I fear I will lose that person nevertheless, I cannot stop writing or loving.
Isabel Allende
I have a very acute sense of place and time, so all of my stories are rooted in a place and a time.
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
I was a lousy journalist. I could never be objective. Sometimes I invented the whole story.
Isabel Allende
Writing is my job. I don't think of it as art.
Isabel Allende
Heart is what drives us and determines our fate. That is what I need for my characters in my books: a passionate heart. I need mavericks, dissidents, adventurers, outsiders and rebels, who ask questions, bend the rules and take risks.
