Selected Isabel Allende Quotations
• How can one not speak about war, poverty, and inequality when people who suffer from these afflictions don't have a voice to speak?
• We live in an era where masses of people come and go across a hostile planet, desolate and violent. Refugees, emigrants, exiles, deportees. We are a tragic contingent.
• Write what should not be forgotten.
• While you are experimenting, do not remain content with the surface of things. Don't become a mere recorder of facts, but try to penetrate the mystery of their origin.
• Erotica is using a feather, pornography is using the whole chicken.
• For women the best aphrodisiacs are words. The G-spot is in the ears. He who looks for it below there is wasting his time.
