More quotes by Isabel Allende
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.
Isabel Allende
All stories interest me, and some haunt me until I end up writing them.
Isabel Allende
I can promise you that women working together - linked, informed and educated - can bring peace and prosperity to this forsaken planet.
Isabel Allende
I'm such a control freak. I want to control even my own death. Decide when I will die and how.
Isabel Allende
Courage is a virtue appreciated in a male but considered a defect in our gender. Bold women are a threat to a world that is badly out of balance, in favor of men.
Isabel Allende
How many times have I told you not to believe everything you hear? Seek truth for yourself.
Isabel Allende
What is truer than truth? Answer: the story.
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
Writing is a calling, not a choice.
Isabel Allende
The success occurs in a place outside of me, and doesn't touch me on an intimate level. I live in my own skin, I have not changed greatly, I remain the same woman.
Isabel Allende
She regretted nothing she had shared with her lover, nor was she ashamed of the fires that had changed her life just the opposite, she felt that they had tempered her, made her strong, given her pride in making decisions and paying the consequences for them.
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
Only in romance novels or in thrillers people live outside of a social and political context.
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
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
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
There is no light without shadow, just as there is no happiness without pain.
Isabel Allende
My worst flaw is that I tell secrets, my own and everybody else's.
Isabel Allende
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.
Isabel Allende
With women the best aphrodisiac is words.
Isabel Allende
