Additional quotes by Isabel Allende

Nu suntem bătrâni pentru că am împlinit șaptezeci. Începem să îmbătrânim din clipa nașterii, ne schimbăm zi după zi, viața e o curgere continuă. Evoluăm. Singura deosebire este că acum suntem ceva mai aproape de moarte. Și ce e rău în asta? Dragostea și prietenia nu îmbătrânesc.

ذلك الحب الجامح لم يكن مسخاً من خيال المراهقة, بل وُجد كنعمة قصيرة وعذاب طويل
