Isabel Allende
Nations should be governed by a council of learned men who must answer to the people for their actions.
Isabel Allende
I've been a story-teller all my life but I realized it only recently.
Isabel Allende
I have travelled all over the world and one thing that amazes me is that I can communicate with people. My story may be different but emotionally we are all the same.
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
There is room in the human heart for all the divinities.
Isabel Allende
I was born in the middle of World War II, the middle of the Holocaust I was born when there was no declaration of human rights, when feminism was not an issue, when children were working in factories. I mean, today's world is a better place!
Isabel Allende
Affection is like the noonday sun it does not need the presence of another to be manifest.
Isabel Allende
