My writing comes not from the happy moments, but from struggle and grief.
Isabel Allende
Image
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.

Image
At my age days dissolve like salt in water the day's gone and I don't even know what I've done with the hours.
Isabel Allende
Image
I was a lousy journalist. I could never be objective. Sometimes I invented the whole story.
Isabel Allende
Image
Humanity has this need to hear stories because they connect us with other people, they teach us about our own feelings. We feel less lonely when we see other people going through the same things, even if they're fictional characters.
Isabel Allende
Image
We've lost our sense of ethics we live in a world of small-mindedness, of gratification without happiness and actions without meaning.
Isabel Allende
Image
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
Image
Just as when we come into the world, when we die we are afraid of the unknown. But the fear is something from within us that has nothing to do with reality. Dying is like being born: just a change.

Writing is like making love. Don't worry about the orgasm, just concentrate on the process.
Isabel Allende
Image
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
Image
We want a world where life is preserved, and the quality of life is enriched for everybody, not only for the privileged.
Isabel Allende
Image
Write what should not be forgotten.

How accommodating love is it forgives everything.
Isabel Allende
Image
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
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.

Love is a free contract that begins with a spark and can end the same way.
Isabel Allende
Image
The longer I live, the more uninformed I feel. Only the young have an explanation for everything.
Isabel Allende
Image
My name is Eva, which means 'life,' according to a book of names my mother consulted. I was born in the back room of a shadowy house, and grew up amidst ancient furniture, books in Latin, and human mummies, but none of those things made me melancholy, because I came into the world with a breath of the jungle in my memory.
Isabel Allende
Image
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.

Barrabas came to us by the sea.
