Wishes and fears are illusion...

Wishes and fears are illusions, Dil Bahadur, not realities. You must practice detachment.

Isabel Allende 349 quotes

My name is Eva, which means '...

My name is Eva, which means 'life,' according to a book of names my mother consulted. I was born in the back room of a shadowy house, and grew up amidst ancient furniture, books in Latin, and human mummies, but none of those things made me melancholy, because I came into the world with a breath of the jungle in my memory.

Isabel Allende 349 quotes

Just as when we come into the...

Just as when we come into the world, when we die we are afraid of the unknown. But the fear is something from within us that has nothing to do with reality. Dying is like being born: just a change.

Isabel Allende 349 quotes

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 349 quotes

Perhaps we are in this world ...

Perhaps we are in this world to search for love, find it and lose it, again and again. With each love, we are born anew, and with each love that ends we collect a new wound. I am covered with proud scars.

Isabel Allende 349 quotes

Give, give, give-what is the ...

Give, give, give-what is the point of having experience, knowledge or talent if I don't give it away?

Isabel Allende 349 quotes

How many times have I told yo...

How many times have I told you not to believe everything you hear? Seek truth for yourself.

...when everything else fails, we communicate in the language of the stars

Silence before being born, silence after death: life is nothing but noise between two unfathomable silences.

Isabel Allende 349 quotes

You are the storyteller of your own life, and you can create your own legend, or not.

Every person is born with a talent, and happiness depends on discovering that talent in time.

Isabel Allende 349 quotes

Every time I asked a question...

Every time I asked a question, that magnificent teacher, instead of giving the answer, showed me how to find it. She taught me to organise my thoughts, to do research, to read and listen, to seek alternatives, to resolve old problems with new solutions, to argue logically. Above all, she taught me not to believe anything blindly, to doubt, and to question even what seemed irrefutably true, such as man's superiority over woman, or one race or social class over another.

Isabel Allende 349 quotes

The two moments are much alik...

The two moments are much alike: birth and death are made of the same fabric.

Isabel Allende 349 quotes

True friendship resists time,...

True friendship resists time, distance and silence.

Isabel Allende 349 quotes

We don't have an explanation ...

We don't have an explanation for everything that happens. We don't control almost anything. And if we are not open to that mystery, life becomes so small.

Isabel Allende 349 quotes

Sisters: talk to each other, ...

Sisters: talk to each other, be connected and informed, form women's circles, share your stories, work together, and take risks. Together we are invincible.

Isabel Allende 349 quotes

Accept the children the way we accept trees—with gratitude, because they are a blessing—but do not have expectations or desires. You don’t expect trees to change, you love them as they are.

Isabel Allende 349 quotes

It is a wonderful truth that things we want most in life-a sense of purpose, happiness and hope-are most easily attained by giving them to others.

Isabel Allende 349 quotes

There is no death, daughter. ...

There is no death, daughter. People die only when we forget them,' my mother explained shortly before she left me. 'If you can remember me, I will be with you always.

The fear is not real, Dil Bahadur; it is only in your mind, like all other things. Our thoughts form what we believe to be reality.
