More quotes by Isabel Allende
Friendship is all about trust and sharing. Passionate and romantic love is all about sex and emotions. You have to try to combine those, I think. The great marriages, the great couples I know, have both.
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 fear is not real, Dil Bahadur it is only in your mind, like all other things. Our thoughts form what we believe to be reality.
Isabel Allende
A memoir forces me to stop and remember carefully. It is an exercise in truth. In a memoir, I look at myself, my life, and the people I love the most in the mirror of the blank screen. In a memoir, feelings are more important than facts, and to write honestly, I have to confront my demons.
Isabel Allende
I need to tell a story. It's an obsession. Each story is a seed inside of me that starts to grow and grow, like a tumor, and I have to deal with it sooner or later.
Isabel Allende
Only in romance novels or in thrillers people live outside of a social and political context.
Isabel Allende
As my Popo used to say, life is a tapestry we weave day by day with threads of different colors, some heavy and dark, others thin and bright, all the threads having their uses. The stupid things I did are already in the tapestry, indelible, but I’m not going to be weighed down by them till I die. What’s done is done I have to look ahead.
Isabel Allende
I'm not willing to sign a contract. They want everything. They want the rights to do the movie and everything else they can think of, forever. There's no limit to the contract. In this universe and universes to be discovered - I'm not making this up - this is in the contract.
Isabel Allende
How many times have I told you not to believe everything you hear? Seek truth for yourself.
Isabel Allende
The longer I live, the more uninformed I feel. Only the young have an explanation for everything.
Isabel Allende
The fact people think that when you sell a lot of books you are not a serious writer is a great insult to the readership. I get a little angry when people try to say such a thing.
Isabel Allende
Now of course we have Black historians, but they're usually men. We get the perspective always, the slanted perspective, of what has happened. The battles, the things achieved, the laws, but where are the people, the families? What happens inside the houses, inside the minds and the hearts? That's what I'm interested in.
Isabel Allende
We are too connected. There's noise in our heads all the time.
Isabel Allende
I carry around a little stool to stand on when people want a picture with their cellular phones.
Isabel Allende
We all have an unsuspected reserve of strength inside that emerges when life puts us to the test.
Isabel Allende
She never imagined a scenario in which her love was not returned with the same depth of feeling, for to her it was impossible to believe that a love of such magnitude could have stunned only her. The most elementary logic and justice indicated that somewhere in the city he was suffering the same delicious torment.
Isabel Allende
My books are written from personal experience, from memories, and from stories that come to me from all places.
Isabel Allende
In terrible moments, in moments of revolution, of war or repression, of illness or death, people react with incredible strength.
Isabel Allende
I was a lousy journalist. I could never be objective. Sometimes I invented the whole story.
Isabel Allende
Barrabas came to us by the sea.
