I need to remember to overcome.
Isabel Allende

I've been a story-teller all my life but I realized it only recently.
Isabel Allende
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
The longer I live, the more uninformed I feel. Only the young have an explanation for everything.
Isabel Allende
Image
In my private circle I am a mother, grandmother, wife, friend, daughter... the success means nothing to my small tribe.
