Additional quotes by Isabel Allende

And I am not one of those women who trips twice over the same stone.

El mundo es violento y predatorio, regido por la ley implacable de los más fuertes. La selección de la especie no ha servido para que florezca la inteligencia o evolucione el espíritu. A la primera oportunidad nos destrozamos unos a otros como ratas prisioneras en una caja demasiado estrecha.

To me a short story is like an arrow; it has to have the right direction from the beginning and you have to know exactly where you're aiming.
