Isabel Allende Quotes

She Fell In Love With Freedom. In The Sommers' Home She Had Lived Shut Up Within Four Walls, In A Stagnant Atmosphere Where Time Moved In Circles And Where She Could Barely Glimpse The Horizon Through Distorted Windowpanes. She Had Grown Up Clad In The Impenetrable Armor Of Good Manners And Conventions, Trained From Girlhood To Please And Serve, Bound By Corset, Routines, Social Norms, And Fear. Fear Had Been Her Companion: Fear Of God And His Unpredictable Justice, Of Authority, Of Her Adoptive Parents, Of Illness And Evil Tongues, Of Anything Unknown Or Different; Fear Of Leaving The Protection Of Her Home And Facing The Dangers Outside; Fear Of Her Own Fragility As A Woman, Of Dishonor And Truth. Hers Had Been A Sugar-coated Reality Built On The Unspoken, On Courteous Silences, Well-guarded Secrets, Order, And Discipline. She Had Aspired To Virtue But Now She Questioned The Meaning Of The Word.
