Isabel Allende
Men's memoirs are about answers; women's memoirs are about questions. Most male authors want to look good in their memoirs and have a place in posterity, while most women know that posterity is what happens when you no longer care. Women want to connect with others here and now; they couldn't care less about legacy!

The actions of men are the best interpreters...I can't understand Urdu, Bahasa or Russian...Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length...Enthusiasm glows, radiates, permeates...Time and trouble will tame an advanced young woman...We come nearest to the great when we are great...
