Isabel Allende Quote: “Very few old folk are happy, Irina. Most of them are poor, aren’t healthy, and have no family. It’s the most fragile and difficult stage of life, more so than childhood, because it grows worse day by day, and there is no future other than death.”

Isabel Allende Quote: “Compared to Europe, Chile was a happily backward and distant paradise.

The Left, with its coarse realism and vulgarity, had no future; the owners of Chile would make sure of that.”
