Additional quotes by Isabel Allende

Heroism is a badly remunerated occupation, and often it leads to an early end, which is why it appeals to fanatics or persons with an unhealthy fascination with death.

He felt that Christianity, like almost all forms of superstition, made men weaker and more resigned, and that the point was not to await some reward in the sky but to fight for one’s rights on earth. (p255)

La muerte no existe, la gente sólo muere cuando la olvidan; si puedes recordarme, siempre estaré contigo.
