| cfd4e22 | Like my maestro, Juan Ribero, she believed that photography and painting are not competing arts but basically different: the painter interpets reality, and the camera captures it. In the former everything is fiction, while the second is the sum of the real plus the sensibility of the photographer. Ribero never allowed me sentimental or exhibitionist tricks-none of this arranging objects or models to look like paintings. He was the enemy of .. | Isabel Allende | ||

| 50236f2 | Cada pieza tiene una razon de ser tal como es. [...] La memoria es fragil y el transcurso de una vida es muy breve y sucede todo tan deprisa, que no alcanzamos a ver la relacion entre los acontecimientos, no podemos medir la consecuencia de los actos, creemos en la ficcion del tiempo, en el presente, el pasado y el futuro, pero puede ser tambien que todo ocurre simultaneamente. | Isabel Allende | ||
| 38a71bf | He said that knowledge was of little use without wisdom, and that there was no wisdom without spirituality, and that true spirituality always included service to others. As he explained many times, the essence of a good physician consisted of a capacity for compassion and a sense of the ethical, without which qualities the sacred art of healing degenerated into simple charlatanism. | healing knowledge spirituality wisdom | Isabel Allende | |

| 36f9ca8 | El afecto del comienzo evoluciono en la medida en que maduraban, pero nunca hablaban de eso. Carecian de palabras para describir ese sentimiento y temian que al hacerlo se rompiera como el cristal. Expresar su relacion en palabras significaba definirla, ponerle limites, reducirla; si no se mencionaba permanecia libre e incontaminada. | Isabel Allende | ||

| 57ddc82 | So firm did Nivea's determination become that she wrote in her diary that she would give up marriage in order to devote herself completely to the struggle for women's suffrage. She was not aware that such a sacrifice would not be necessary, and that she would marry a man for love who would back her up in her political goals. | Isabel Allende | ||
| 75fe9d6 | A escrita e uma longa introspeccao, e uma viagem ate as cavernas mais obscuras da consciencia, uma lenta meditacao.

| 2c03464 | En todas las clases sociales, menos las privilegiadas por el dinero, la abnegacion y el trabajo se consideran las maximas virtudes femeninas; el espiritu de sacrificio es una cuestion de honor, mientras mas sufren por la familia, mas orgullosas se sienten. Se acostumbran desde temprano a considerar al companero como un hijo bobalicon, a quien perdonan graves defectos, desde ebriedad hasta violencia domestica, porque es hombre. | Isabel Allende | ||

| 7e2d480 | Era ella quien se abria como una sandia madura, roja, jugosa, tibia, ella quien sudaba esa fragancia penetrante de mariscos, ella quien lo mordia, lo aranaba, lo chupaba, gemia, agonizaba de sofoco y de placer. Era en su carne compasiva donde se sumergia hasta perder el aliento y volverse esponja, medusa, estrella de altamar. | love luxury sex | Isabel Allende | |

| fee0a2d | Henry had written a novel because there was a hole in him that needed filling, a question that needed answering, a patch of canvas that needed painting--that blend of anxiety, curiosity and joy that is at the origin of art--and he had filled the hole, answered the question, splashed colour on the canvas, all done for himself, because he had to. Then complete strangers told him that his book had filled a hole in them, had answered a question.. | book creativity curiosity inspirational joy life painting strangers writer writers-on-writing writing writing-life | Yann Martel | |

| 2fe8a5c | The reason death sticks do closely to life isn't biological necessity-it"s envy. Life is so beautiful that death has fallen in love with it, a jealous possessive love that grabs at what it can. But life leaps over oblivion lightly, losing only an thing or two of no importance, and gloom is but the passing shadow of a cloud." | Yann Martel | ||
| be8efaa | It begins in your mind, always. One moment you are feeling calm, self-possessed, happy. Then fear, disguised in the garb of mild-mannered doubt, slips into your mind like a spy. Doubt meets disbelief and disbelief tries to push it out. But disbelief is a poorly armed foot soldier. Doubt does away with with little trouble. You become anxious. Reason comes to do battle for you. You are reassured. Reason is fully equipped with the latest weapo.. | Yann Martel |
