More quotes by Isabel Allende
Words are not that important when you recognize intentions.
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
And I am not one of those women who trips twice over the same stone.
Isabel Allende
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
I'm not a fan of mysteries, so to prepare for this experience of writing a mystery I started reading the most successful ones in the market in 2012. And I realized I cannot write that kind of book. It's too gruesome, too violent, too dark there's no redemption there.
Isabel Allende
I do not put myself in a box and say, for instance, I'm writing post-colonial literature. I don't know what I'm writing. That's the business of professors and critics. My job is to tell a story, and that's it.
Isabel Allende
I have learned many things in the 30 years that I have been writing.
Isabel Allende
Writers speak for those who are kept in silence
Isabel Allende
The hardest thing of love is to let go.
Isabel Allende
In my private circle I am a mother, grandmother, wife, friend, daughter... the success means nothing to my small tribe.
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 try to let go of the intellect and just tell the story. I only read the page I have in front of me on the screen. Then when the whole story is told, I print it, wait a week and read it.
Isabel Allende
Aphrodite is about lust and gluttony - the only two sins worth committing, in my opinion.
Isabel Allende
We want a world where life is preserved, and the quality of life is enriched for everybody, not only for the privileged.
Isabel Allende
Affection is like the noonday sun it does not need the presence of another to be manifest.
Isabel Allende
We are too connected. There's noise in our heads all the time.
Isabel Allende
How accommodating love is it forgives everything.
Isabel Allende
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
far away from my country I would be like those trees they chop down at Christmastime, those poor rootless pines that last a little while and then die.
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. She was not aware that such a sacrifice would not be necessary, and that she would marry a man for love who would back her up in her political goals.
