I like Hillary Clinton a lot. I know her.
Isabel Allende
I'm such a control freak. I want to control even my own death. Decide when I will die and how.
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 think that my life changed at 50. Many things happened. Menopause, the end of youth and my daughter died that year after being a whole year in a coma. So I think that I changed and I became an elder at 50.
Isabel Allende
fiction happens in the belly, it doesn't happen in the brain.

Isabel Allende

Isabel Allende

Isabel Allende
She sowed in my mind the idea that reality is not only what we see on the surface it has a magical dimension as well and, if we so desire, it is legitimate to enhance it and color it to make our journey through life less trying.
Isabel Allende
The one that came really easy was the Japanese lover, because he's like a ghost in the book. He's always in the background like a spirit, like a shadow, almost. There's a very delicate line there.
Isabel Allende
People are afraid of falling in love because they don't want to suffer.
Isabel Allende
Writing is my job. I don't think of it as art.
Isabel Allende
Give, give, give - what is the point of having experience, knowledge or talent if I don't give it away? Of having stories if I don't tell them to others? Of having wealth if I don't share it? I don't intend to be cremated with any of it! It is in giving that I connect with others, with the world and with the divine.
Isabel Allende
Roots are not in landscape or a country, or a people, they are inside you.
Isabel Allende
My life is about ups and downs, great joys and great losses.
Isabel Allende
Conceit is a privilege of the ignorant the wise man is humble because he knows how little he knows.
Isabel Allende
