Isabel Allende (born August 2, 1942) is a Chilean writer.

In 2004, Allende was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and in 2010, she received Chile's National Literature Prize. President Barack Obama awarded her the 2014 Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Additional quotes by Isabel Allende

يوم آخر من الانتظار، ويوم ينقص من الأمل. يوم آخر من الصمت، ويوم أقل من الحياة. الموت يمضي طليقًا في الممرات ومهمتي مشاغلته حتى لا يجد الطريق إلى بابك.

If, for example, I saw my grandparents or my daughter for an instant, would I recognize them? Probably not, because in looking so hard for a way to keep them alive, remembering them in the most minimal details, I have been changing them, adorning them with qualities they may not have had. I have given them a destiny much more complex than the ones they lived.
