More quotes by 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
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
Boredom, Timothy Duane assured me, is nothing more than anger without passion.
Isabel Allende
Writing is like making love. Don't worry about the orgasm, just concentrate on the process.
Isabel Allende
There is room in the human heart for all the divinities.
Isabel Allende
A book is not an end in itself it is only a way to touch someone - a bridge extended across a space of loneliness and obscurity - and sometimes it is a way of winning other people to our causes.
Isabel Allende
It is absurd to imagine that any child will be able to earn a living, let alone contribute to resolving our world's complex problems, without knowing how to read and write.

Isabel Allende
I'm interested in people who have to overcome obstacles, people who are not sheltered by the umbrella of the establishment, marginals.
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
At the most difficult moments of my life, when it seemed that every door was closed to me, the taste of those apricots comes back to comfort me with the notion that abundance is always within reach, if only one knows how to find it.
Isabel Allende
Happiness is pure kitch we come into the world to suffer and learn.
Isabel Allende
Affection is like the noonday sun it does not need the presence of another to be manifest.
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
The hardest thing of love is to let go.
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
Someone has said that conversation is sex for the soul.
