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.

Image
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

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.

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.

fiction happens in the belly, it doesn't happen in the brain.

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.

I tend to see the similarities in people and not the differences.
Isabel Allende
Image
I'm aware of the mystery around us, so I write about coincidences, premonitions, emotions, dreams, the power of nature, magic.

When you make an omelet, as when you make love, affection counts for more than technique.
Isabel Allende
Image
I'm interested in people who have to overcome obstacles, people who are not sheltered by the umbrella of the establishment, marginals.

Writing is a process, a journey into memory and the soul.
Isabel Allende
Image
if we don't begin by imagining the perfect society, how shall we create one?
Isabel Allende
Image
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
Image
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
Image
We want a world where life is preserved, and the quality of life is enriched for everybody, not only for the privileged.
Isabel Allende
Image
I don't want to die in pain or in an undignified way, I don't want any of the people I love to die in, die painfully. But I'm aware of the fact that they may die before I do and I have to part with them and take the loss. The hardest thing of love is to let go. But I think I can get let go of almost anybody.
Isabel Allende

I love fiction because in fiction you go into the thoughts of people, the little people, the people who were defeated, the poor, the women, the children that are never in history books.

Peace requires everyone to be in the circle - wholeness, inclusion.
