More quotes by Isabel Allende

Isabel Allende

I think the spirit survives when we die, and nothing is wasted in nature and just as our material body disintegrates and becomes something else in the soil. The spirit becomes something else, reunites with a spiritual force that is out there in the universe. Not as individuals but as part of this spirituality.
Isabel Allende

Isabel Allende
Happiness is pure kitch we come into the world to suffer and learn.
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
No complaining about how hard it is to write, we are all so, so lucky to write, to sit down, inside, and write words on paper. There is no greater freedom, no greater good, nothing that brings more joy.
Isabel Allende
I feel that my life and therefore my writing accept the possibility of all the mystery. Everything we don't know everything that can possibly happen.
Isabel Allende
Conceit is a privilege of the ignorant the wise man is humble because he knows how little he knows.
Isabel Allende
I try desperately to conquer the transitory nature of my existence, to trap moments before they evenesce, to untangle the confusion of my past. Every instant disappears in a breath and immediately becomes the past reality is ephemeral and changing, pure longing.
Isabel Allende
