More quotes by 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
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
Every person is born with a talent, and happiness depends on discovering that talent in time.
Isabel Allende
I was a very bad journalist. Awful. I would just invent everything. If I did an interview, I had a preconception of what that person should say and I would put my words in his mouth.
Isabel Allende
Erotica is using a feather pornograpy is using the whole chicken.
Isabel Allende
I'm not a fan of mysteries, so to prepare for this experience of writing a mystery I started reading the most successful ones in the market in 2012. And I realized I cannot write that kind of book. It's too gruesome, too violent, too dark there's no redemption there.
Isabel Allende
In 2011, I announced that I was going to retire, and my agent panicked. So she says: No, no, no. You have to write a book with your husband.
Isabel Allende
You would give your life for your little baby. It's not the same when you are in a sexual relationship unless you feel that you are loved as you love.
Isabel Allende
We are too connected. There's noise in our heads all the time.
Isabel Allende
So firm did Nivea's determination become that she wrote in her diary that she would give up marriage in order to devote herself completely to the struggle for women's suffrage. She was not aware that such a sacrifice would not be necessary, and that she would marry a man for love who would back her up in her political goals.
Isabel Allende
I would like to be with my husband together sitting somewhere in a lonely place in the woods and take something, maybe some pills or something, a magic potion and die together.
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
She was considered timid and morose. Only in the country, her skin tanned by the sun and her belly full of ripe fruit, running through the fields with Pedro Tercero, was she smiling and happy. Her mother said that that was the real Blanca, and that the other one, the one back in the city, was a Blanca in hibernation.
Isabel Allende
Writers speak for those who are kept in silence
Isabel Allende
Happiness is pure kitch we come into the world to suffer and learn.
Isabel Allende
His lifetime was less than a fraction of a second in infinity. Or maybe he did not even exist maybe human beings, the planets, everything in Creation were a dream...an illusion. He smiled with humility when he remembered.
Isabel Allende
We want a world where life is preserved, and the quality of life is enriched for everybody, not only for the privileged.
Isabel Allende
I get hundreds of emails daily and a lot of feedback from people that are reading or have read my books. When I'm writing, or in my daily life, I just think of the work. I love to tell a story, but I might work with a story to make it the best I can without thinking of how many people will read it or if it will influence anybody.
Isabel Allende
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.
Isabel Allende
Sex is the instrument and love the music.
Isabel Allende
