The world is a very unjust, unfair place and we have to live with that. Historically, there is impunity for most crimes.
Isabel AllendeNice people with common sense do not make interesting characters. They only make good former spouses.
Isabel AllendeIt bothers them that instead of taking on the role of abandoned lover, I have become a happy wife. They relish seeing strong women like you and me humiliated. They cannot forgive us that we triumphed where so many others fail...Courage is a virtue appreciated in a male but considered a defect in our gender. Bold women are a threat to a world that is out of balance, in favor of men. That is why they work so hard to mistreat and destroy us.
