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.

More quotes by Isabel Allende
Aphrodite is about lust and gluttony - the only two sins worth committing, in my opinion.
Isabel Allende
I'm always following the characters and I'm always interested in what happens to them, but what happens to them is conditioned by the circumstances in which they live.
Isabel Allende
The hardest thing of love is to let go.
Isabel Allende
You only have what you give. It’s by spending yourself that you become rich.
Isabel Allende
The biggest straitjacket is all the prejudices that we carry around, and all the fears. But what if we just surrender to the fear? There are things greater than fear. The great, wonderful quality of human beings is that we can overcome even absolute terror, and we do.
Isabel Allende
A memoir forces me to stop and remember carefully. It is an exercise in truth. In a memoir, I look at myself, my life, and the people I love the most in the mirror of the blank screen. In a memoir, feelings are more important than facts, and to write honestly, I have to confront my demons.
Isabel Allende
I need to remember to overcome.
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'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
Every person is born with a talent, and happiness depends on discovering that talent in time.
Isabel Allende
My son, the Holy Church is on the right, but Jesus Christ was always on the left.
Isabel Allende
The names of persons and living creatures demand respect, because when we speak to them we touch their heart and become a part of thier life force.
Isabel Allende
The most poor and backward areas in the world are those in which women are subjugated and exploited. Improving the situation of the woman improves the family, the community, and by extension the whole country.
Isabel Allende
Nice people with common sense do not make interesting characters. They only make good former spouses.
Isabel Allende
I think that my life changed at 50. Many things happened. Menopause, the end of youth and my daughter died that year after being a whole year in a coma. So I think that I changed and I became an elder at 50.
Isabel Allende
My life is about ups and downs, great joys and great losses.
Isabel Allende
We only appreciate what we have when we lose it.
Isabel Allende
She sowed in my mind the idea that reality is not only what we see on the surface it has a magical dimension as well and, if we so desire, it is legitimate to enhance it and color it to make our journey through life less trying.
Isabel Allende
Only in romance novels or in thrillers people live outside of a social and political context.
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.
