Isabel Allende
Writing is a process, a journey into memory and the soul.
Isabel Allende
...a fixation is very stubborn: it burrows into the brain and breaks the heart. There are many fixations, but love is the worst.
Isabel Allende
It's going to go away because we all need silence. We all need time to reflect and think. I am not at all pessimistic about this.
Isabel Allende
His calls for justice were lost at the mercy of the wind and human indifference.

We are too connected. There's noise in our heads all the time.
Isabel Allende
You write a book and it's like putting a message in a bottle and throwing it in the ocean. You don't know if it will ever reach any shores. And there, you see, sometimes it falls in the hands of the right person.
Isabel Allende
