“If I didn't write my soul would dry up and die.” — Isabel Allende Quote

“If I didn't write my soul would dry up and die.”

“Sadness and boredom were more bearable than the effort of living a normal life. Perhaps the idea of death began to hover over her during that period, as a kind of higher order of lassitude in which she would not have to move the blood in her veins or the air in her lungs; her repose would be absolute- not to think, not to feel, not to be.”

“Silence before being born, silence after death: life is nothing but noise between two unfathomable silences.”
