Isabel Allende
When you make an omelet, as when you make love, affection counts for more than technique.
Isabel Allende
Love is a free contract that begins with a spark and can end the same way.
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. My foundation supports the National Writing Project so that teachers can be more effective in their efforts to improve literacy for all students.
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
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
We are too connected. There's noise in our heads all the time.
Isabel Allende
What is truer than truth? Answer: the story.
