More quotes by Isabel Allende

Isabel Allende
Empowering women means trusting them.
Isabel Allende

Isabel Allende
Words are not that important when you recognize intentions.
Isabel Allende
How can one not speak about war, poverty, and inequality when people who suffer from these afflictions don't have a voice to speak?
Isabel Allende
My worst flaw is that I tell secrets, my own and everybody else's.
Isabel Allende
Youth is not a period in life but a state of mind.
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
Nations should be governed by a council of learned men who must answer to the people for their actions.
Isabel Allende
The one that came really easy was the Japanese lover, because he's like a ghost in the book. He's always in the background like a spirit, like a shadow, almost. There's a very delicate line there.
Isabel Allende
I'm an expert. I can kill anybody and not be caught.
Isabel Allende
