More quotes by Isabel Allende
She never imagined a scenario in which her love was not returned with the same depth of feeling, for to her it was impossible to believe that a love of such magnitude could have stunned only her. The most elementary logic and justice indicated that somewhere in the city he was suffering the same delicious torment.
Isabel Allende
He was not oppressed by a crowd because in the midst of all the hullabaloo he always found a quiet place for his soul.
Isabel Allende
And I am not one of those women who trips twice over the same stone.
Isabel Allende
Conceit is a privilege of the ignorant the wise man is humble because he knows how little he knows.
Isabel Allende
The library is inhabited by spirits that come out of the pages at night.
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
Empowering women means trusting them.
Isabel Allende
Love is music, and sex is only the instrument.
Isabel Allende
I think the spirit survives when we die, and nothing is wasted in nature and just as our material body disintegrates and becomes something else in the soil. The spirit becomes something else, reunites with a spiritual force that is out there in the universe. Not as individuals but as part of this spirituality.
Isabel Allende
Nice people with common sense do not make interesting characters. They only make good former spouses.
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
fiction happens in the belly, it doesn't happen in the brain.
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 want a world where life is preserved, and the quality of life is enriched for everybody, not only for the privileged.
Isabel Allende
You can't find someone who doesn't want to be found.
Isabel Allende
Be careful what you ask of Heaven it might be granted.
Isabel Allende
I seek truth and beauty in the transparency of an autumn leaf, in the perfect form of a seashell on the beach, in the curve of a woman's back, in the texture of an ancient tree trunk, but also in the elusive forms of reality.
Isabel Allende
I have a very acute sense of place and time, so all of my stories are rooted in a place and a time.
Isabel Allende
When love exists, nothing else matters, not life’s predicaments, not the fury of the years, not a physical winding down or scarcity of opportunity.
Isabel Allende
Humanity has this need to hear stories because they connect us with other people, they teach us about our own feelings. We feel less lonely when we see other people going through the same things, even if they're fictional characters.
Isabel Allende
