Isabel Preysler quotes by Isabel Allende
Fiction happens in the womb. It doesn't get processed in the mind until you do the editing. ~ Isabel Allende
Isabel Preysler quotes by Isabel Allende
Introverted feeling types have a wealth of warmth and enthusiasm, but they may not show it until they know someone well. They wear their warm side inside, like a fur-lined coat. ~ Isabel Briggs Myers
Isabel Preysler quotes by Isabel Briggs Myers
Extraverts ... cannot understand life until they have lived it. Introverts ... cannot live life until they understand it. ~ Isabel Briggs Myers
Isabel Preysler quotes by Isabel Briggs Myers
My death..I mean..will it be quick,and with dignity? How will i know when the end is coming?"
"When you vomit blood,sir," Tao Chi'en said sadly.
That happened three weeks later,in the middle of Pacific,in the privacy of the captain's cabin. As soon as he could stand , the old seaman cleaned up the traces of his vomit, rinsed out his mouth , changed his bloody shirt, lighted his pipe, and went to the bow of his ship , where he stood and looked for the last time at the stars winking in a sky of black velvet. Several sailors saw him and waited at a distance, caps in hands. When he had smoked the last of his tobacco, Captain John Sommers put his legs over the rail and noiselessly dropped into the sea.
-Portrait in Sepia by Isabel Allende. ~ Isabel Allende
Isabel Preysler quotes by Isabel Allende
October 22, 2002 Yesterday, Alma, when at last we could meet to celebrate our birthdays, I could see you were in a bad mood. You said that all of a sudden, without us realizing it, we have turned seventy. You are afraid our bodies will fail us, and of what you call the ugliness of age, even though you are more beautiful now than you were at twenty-three. We're not old because we are seventy. We start to grow old as soon as we are born, we change every day, life is a continuous state of flux. We evolve. The only difference is that now we are a little closer to death. What's so bad about that? Love and friendship do not age. Ichi ~ Isabel Allende
Isabel Preysler quotes by Isabel Allende
[The Great Migration] had such an effect on almost every aspect of our lives - from the music that we listen to to the politics of our country to the ways the cities even look and feel. ~ Isabel Wilkerson
Isabel Preysler quotes by Isabel Wilkerson
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
Isabel Preysler quotes by Isabel Allende
The others slithered and crawled to get her the tanks and the belt, unaware that in order to really get my look, you had to accessorize with death in the family and generalized heartbreak. ~ Maggie Stiefvater
Isabel Preysler quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
Writing is my job. I don't think of it as art. ~ Isabel Allende
Isabel Preysler quotes by Isabel Allende
Why can't I do it?" [Isabel] asked ... .
"Do what?"
"Just forget about everything. Just go somewhere and get smashed and pretend like there are no problems or consequences. I know why. Because there are still problems and consequences. And going and
and
partying doesn't make them go away. I feel like I'm the only sane person in the world. I don't get why this whole world runs on stupidity. ~ Maggie Stiefvater
Isabel Preysler quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
I do not put myself in a box and say, for instance, I'm writing post-colonial literature. I don't know what I'm writing. That's the business of professors and critics. My job is to tell a story, and that's it. ~ Isabel Allende
Isabel Preysler quotes by Isabel Allende
We want to bring light into media, we always keep that into mind... the message of love and goodness that still exists in the world... ~ Isabel Ruiz Lucero
Isabel Preysler quotes by Isabel Ruiz Lucero
Here's to the people we fuck, here's to the people who fuck us, if the people we fuck are fucking with us, fuck them and here's to us." – Nico ~ Isabel Lucero
Isabel Preysler quotes by Isabel Lucero
Literary characters, like my grandmother's apparitions, are fragile beings, easily frightened; they must be treated with care so they will feel comfortable in my pages ~ Isabel Allende
Isabel Preysler quotes by Isabel Allende
Sex is the instrument and love the music ... ~ Isabel Allende
Isabel Preysler quotes by Isabel Allende
It hardly mattered. She was tired of waiting for him to acknowledge who he was. Tired of donning a false mask of gaiety when she was so much more - felt so much more - beneath. No one had ever noticed her mask. No one but him. If he couldn't or wouldn't make the first move, then damn it, she would. ~ Elizabeth Hoyt
Isabel Preysler quotes by Elizabeth Hoyt
I'm open to love, and I think that I will fall in love with a wonderful man. ~ Isabel Allende
Isabel Preysler quotes by Isabel Allende
Well, I'm sorry you might possibly be out a bit of money, Jack," Isabel said. "Jesus, Isabel," Holloway said. He opened the door. "A bit of money? Try at least a couple billion credits. That's billion, with a b. Saying that's a bit of money is like saying a forest fire is a nice way to roast some marshmallows. ~ John Scalzi
Isabel Preysler quotes by John Scalzi
That was the beginning of the revolution. Many years have gone by and blood keeps running, soaking the soil of Haiti, but I am not there to weep. ~ Isabel Allende
Isabel Preysler quotes by Isabel Allende
The simple recipe for success that Mendel had instilled in his children from the cradle on consisted in never complaining, never asking for anything, striving to be the best in everything you do, and never trusting anyone. ~ Isabel Allende
Isabel Preysler quotes by Isabel Allende
I never try to convey a message, I just want to tell a story. Why that story in particular? I have no idea, but I have learned to surrender to the muse. I become obsessed with a theme or with certain stories; they haunt me for years, and finally, I write them. ~ Isabel Allende
Isabel Preysler quotes by Isabel Allende
He started to dance. And all at once, because Cole was dancing, I was dancing. And this Cole was even more persuasive than the last one. This was everything about Cole's smile made into a real thing, a physical object made out of his hands looped around me, and his long body pushed up against mine. I loved to dance, but I'd always been aware that I was dancing, aware of what my body was doing. Now, with this music thumping and Cole dancing with me, everything became invisible but the music. I was invisible. My hips were the booming bass. My hands on Cole were the wails of the synthesizer. My body was nothing but the hard, pulsing beat of the track.

My thoughts were flashes in between the downbeats.

beat:

my hand pressed on Cole's stomach

beat:

our hips crushed together

beat:

Cole's laugh

beat:

we were one person

Even knowing that Cole was good at this because it was what he did didn't make it any less of an amazing thing. Plus, he wasn't trying to be amazing without me--every move of his body was to make us move together. There was no ego, just the music and our bodies.

When the track ended, Cole stepped back, out of breath, half a smile on his face. I couldn't see how he could stop. I wanted to dance until I couldn't stand up. I wanted to crush our bodies against each other until there was no pulling them apart.

"You're an addiction," I to ~ Maggie Stiefvater
Isabel Preysler quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
There were few other passengers: a man in an overcoat, his head sunk against his chest; a couple with arms around each other, impervious to their surroundings; and a teenage boy with a black scarf wound round his neck, Zorro-style. Isabel smiled to herself: a microcosm of our condition, she thought. Loneliness and despair; love and its self-absorption; and sixteen, which was a state all its own. ~ Alexander McCall Smith
Isabel Preysler quotes by Alexander McCall Smith
I like to keep mobile. It keeps my mind awake. ~ Isabel Lucas
Isabel Preysler quotes by Isabel Lucas
I don't want an uneventful and safe life, I prefer an adventurous one. ~ Isabel Allende
Isabel Preysler quotes by Isabel Allende
This was a matter of some small group of guerrillas in some distant caves, a primitive, fanatical, and desperate people who didn't have the resources to intimidate the United States. ~ Isabel Allende
Isabel Preysler quotes by Isabel Allende
I feel that my life and therefore my writing accept the possibility of all the mystery. Everything we don't know; everything that can possibly happen. ~ Isabel Allende
Isabel Preysler quotes by Isabel Allende
Anita Shreve is an author I adore. I rip through her meaty books and get off on the robust romance immensely - especially if I am feeling less than robust in my real life. ~ Isabel Gillies
Isabel Preysler quotes by Isabel Gillies
They speak like melted butter and their children speak like footsteps on pavement ... ~ Isabel Wilkerson
Isabel Preysler quotes by Isabel Wilkerson
I had been living in Ohio in my own house with my own life when my marriage abruptly came to an end. I had nowhere to go with my two sons, very little money, and not much to do in Ohio except be someone's ex-wife. My parents instantly and very generously invited my family to move back home to New York, where I could begin again. ~ Isabel Gillies
Isabel Preysler quotes by Isabel Gillies
Agosins poetic language engages the reader in a mesmerizing journey of inward reflection and exile. ~ Isabel Allende
Isabel Preysler quotes by Isabel Allende
Peace requires everyone to be in the circle - wholeness, inclusion. ~ Isabel Allende
Isabel Preysler quotes by Isabel Allende
Write your dreams down, toss them into the sea, and make a wish, Isabel. Life is too short to live with regrets, own today as if it was your last. ~ A.M. Willard
Isabel Preysler quotes by A.M. Willard
Hi. I'm on the run from the FBI, Interpol, and a Las Vegas criminal gang," I announced bluntly, to avoid any misunderstandings.
"Congratulations," he said. ~ Isabel Allende
Isabel Preysler quotes by Isabel Allende
Wait - " Sam said. "Have you seen Isabel yet?"
My fingers still felt the shape of her. "Da. We embraced.
Angels sang, Sam. Those fat ones. Cherubs. Cherubim. I
must go."
"Don't bite people. ~ Maggie Stiefvater
Isabel Preysler quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
We act out our lives to a soundtrack, thought Isabel, the music that becomes, for a spell, out favourite and is listened to again and again until it stands for the time itself. But that was about all the scripting that we achieved; the rest, for most of us, was extemporising. ~ Alexander McCall Smith
Isabel Preysler quotes by Alexander McCall Smith
Why did you even come here, Cole?"
I touched her chin. This place, this beautiful place, this girl, this beautiful girl, this music, this life. "I came here for you. ~ Maggie Stiefvater
Isabel Preysler quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
My best friend was Aboriginal. She taught me about 'bush tucker' - the food of the land, the different things you could eat if you got lost in the bush, like grasses and berries. There's this tree called the billygoat plum - the fruit is quite nice. ~ Isabel Lucas
Isabel Preysler quotes by Isabel Lucas
My life has consisted of challenging authority, which I was taught as a young girl. Life is only noise between two abysmal silences. Silence before birth, silence after death. ~ Isabel Allende
Isabel Preysler quotes by Isabel Allende
Change, of course, is growth, and anything that is not growing is either paralysed or it's not alive, because that's life; we always change and we grow. ~ Isabel Lucas
Isabel Preysler quotes by Isabel Lucas
As a fourteen-year-old, Isabel had searched the dictionary. She knew that if a wife lost a husband, there was a whole new word to describe who she was: she was now a widow. A husband became a widower. But if a parent lost a child, there was no special label for their grief. They were still just a mother or a father, even if they no longer had a son or a daughter. That seemed odd. As ~ M.L. Stedman
Isabel Preysler quotes by M.L. Stedman
Why, isabel? Why are you doing this to yourself? To your body?'
And why are you doing this to me? is the awful, selfish thought that is left unsaid.
'Because I can,' she answers, and I shiver as she unconsciously echoes chastity-ruth.
'But-'
'Because it's my body,' she cuts in. 'Isn't it? ~ Louise O'Neill
Isabel Preysler quotes by Louise O'Neill
Zacharie did not learn of the sorrow his wife was living becasue she was careful to hide it. Tete kept that first love, the stromngest in her life, a secret. She mentioned it only rarely because she could not offer Zacharie a passion of the same intensity; the relationship they shared was genntle and free of urgency. ~ Isabel Allende
Isabel Preysler quotes by Isabel Allende
Fetch him breakfast.
Fetch him coffee.
Fetch his sheets for his bed.
Fetch him lunch.
Fetch his drink.
Fetch the ax to cut his head.
Fetch him dinner.
Fetch him tea.
Fetch the mop but watch him bleed. ~ Cristina Isabel
Isabel Preysler quotes by Cristina Isabel
Afterward, Isabel drove me home and I shut myself in the study with Rilke, and I read and I wanted.
And leaving you (there arent words to untangle it)
Your life, fearful and immense and blossoming,
So that, sometimes frustrated, and sometimes
understanding
Your life is sometimes a stone in you, and then, a star
I was beginning to undertand poetry. ~ Maggie Stiefvater
Isabel Preysler quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
Remember that all the others are more afraid than you ~ Isabel Allende
Isabel Preysler quotes by Isabel Allende
Finally, although extraverts certainly have more worldly wisdom and a better sense of expediency, introverts have a corresponding advantage in unworldly wisdom. They are closer to the eternal truths. The contrast is especially apparent when an extravert and an introvert are brought up side by side in the same family. The introvert child is often able to grasp and accept a moral principle - "yours and mine," for example - in its abstract form. The extravert child is usually unimpressed by the abstract principle, and usually must experience it; then, having learned the hard way what others think, the extravert has a basis for conduct. ~ Isabel Briggs Myers
