| fe87f59 | Me peame laskma oma sudamel aeg-ajalt puruneda. Purustatud suda on hea mark. See tahendab, et sa vahemalt purgisid millegi poole. | Elizabeth Gilbert | ||
| e535202 | At some point in a woman's life, she just gets tired of being ashamed all the time. After that, she is free to become whoever she truly is. | Elizabeth Gilbert | ||

| 397643c | She stopped feeling like she was nothing more than a consumer, nothing more than the sum of her daily obligations and duties. | Elizabeth Gilbert | ||
| 2f127ac | What you are Vivian is a type of person. To be more specific,you are a type of woman. A tediously common type of woman. Do you think I've not encountered your type before? Your sort will always be slinking around, playing your boring and vulgar little games, causing your boring and vulgar little problems. You are the type of woman, Vivian, because you will always be playing with toys that are not your own. A woman of your type often believe.. | elizabethgilbert historical-fiction inspirational love | Elizabeth Gilbert | |
| 639acd4 | I told him. I was not accustomed, Angela, to having men listen to me. And as for your father, he was not accustomed to being with a woman who would walk five miles with him in the middle of the night, in the rain, in Queens, just to keep him company when he could not sleep. | Elizabeth Gilbert | ||
| 49f2fc0 | I could ever tell him about myself that he would judge or criticize. My own glints of darkness did not frighten him; he had such darkness of his own that nobody else's shadows scared him. Most of all, though, he listened. | Elizabeth Gilbert | ||
| b44e64c | Yet I can tell you that there was a lonely and untenanted corner of my heart that I'd never known was there--and Frank moved right into it. Holding him in my heart made me feel like I belonged to love itself. Although we never lived together or shared a bed, he was always a part of me. I saved stories for him all week, so I would have good things to tell him. I asked for his opinions, because I respected his ethics. | Elizabeth Gilbert | ||
| 84187b5 | You must learn in life to take things more lightly, my dear. The world is always changing. Learn how to allow for it. Someone makes a promise, and then they break it. A play gets good notices, and then it folds. A marriage looks strong, and then they divorce. For a while there's no war, and then there's another war. If you get too upset about it all, you become a stupid, unhappy person--and where's the good in that? | Elizabeth Gilbert | ||

| c2a7a4a | She was paying me the compliment of her undivided attention, and thus I was instantly smitten. | Elizabeth Gilbert | ||
| f2e11a5 | Not to mention that I have finally arrived at that age where a woman starts to question whether the wisest way to get over the loss of one beautiful brown-eyed young man is indeed to promptly invite another one into her bed. | Elizabeth Gilbert | ||
| 8ade849 | Children don't have any honor, you see, and they aren't expected to, because it's too difficult for them. It's too painful. But to become an adult, one must step into the field of honor. Everything will be expected of you now. You will need to be vigilant in your principles. Sacrifices will be demanded. You will be judged. | Elizabeth Gilbert | ||
| c259ecf | She was of the mind that people should make their own decisions about their own lives, if you can image such a preposterous thing. | Elizabeth Gilbert | ||
| cabc17a | The thing that you don't understand about yourself, Vivian, is that you're not an interesting person. You are pretty, yes - but that's only because you are young. The prettiness will soon fade...What you are, Vivian, is a type of person. To be more specific, you are a type of woman. A tediously common type of woman. | prettiness young | Elizabeth Gilbert | |
| bd018fa | I was not one for telling the truth back then. Truth telling was not my first instinct in any situation - especially in stressful situations. It took my many years to become an honest person, and I know why: because the truth is often terrifying. Once you introduce truth into a room, the room may never be the same again. | power-of-truth truth | Elizabeth Gilbert | |
| 84e08a6 | There was a place within my imagination so fathomlessly deep that the light of the real world could never touch it. Nothing but sex had ever been able to reach it. This place within me was prehuman, almost. Certainly, it was precivilization. It was a place beyond language. Friendship could not reach it. My creative endeavors could not reach it. Awe and joy could not reach it. This hidden part of me could only be reached through sexual inter.. | Elizabeth Gilbert | ||
| 3137bb8 | I did believe that my behavior made me unusual - because it didn't seem to match the behavior of other women - but I didn't believe it made me bad...I could have spent the rest of the life trying to prove that I was a good girl - but that would have been unfaithful to who I really was. I believed that I was a good person, if not a good girl...So I gave up on the idea of denying myself what I truly wanted. Then I sought ways to delight mysel.. | true-self | Elizabeth Gilbert | |
| 08cb761 | So porque a criatividade e mistica, nao quer dizer que nao deva ser desmistificada - especialmente se isso significa libertar os artistas das limitacoes de seus delirios de grandeza, de seu panico e de seu ego. | creative-writing criação criatividade escrita-criativa | Elizabeth Gilbert | |
| 8af32e9 | He tried to answer the question of why the Italians have produced the greatest artistic, political and scientific minds of the ages, but have still never become a major world power. Why are they the planet's masters of verbal diplomacy, but still so inept at home government? Why are they so individually valiant, yet so collectively unsuccessful as an army? How can they be such shrewd merchants on the personal level, yet such inefficient cap.. | Elizabeth Gilbert | ||
| c812596 | That is complicated question with an equally complicated answer. | Karin Slaughter | ||
| 4ff526a | In consequence of the inevitably scattered and fragmentary nature of our thinking, which has been mentioned, and of the mixing together of the most heterogeneous representations thus brought about and inherent even in the noblest human mind, we really possess only *half a consciousness*. With this we grope about in the labyrinth of our life and in the obscurity of our investigations; bright moments illuminate our path like flashes of lighti.. | metaphysics ontology philosophical-anthropology saelf schopenhauer | Arthur Schopenhauer | |
| 29b7067 | The most perfect and satisfactory knowledge is that of perception but this is limited to the absolutely particular, to the individual. The comprehension of the many and the various into *one* representation is possible only through the *concept*, in other words, by omitting the differences; consequently, the concept is a very imperfect way of representing things. The particular, of course, can also be apprehended immediately as a universal,.. | intellect metaphysics ontology philosophy schopenhauer will | Arthur Schopenhauer | |

| 4e8848e | This encounter, the very heart of psychotherapy, is a caring, deeply human meeting between two people, one (generally, but not always, the patient) more troubled than the other. Therapists have a dual role: they must both observe and participate in the lives of their patients. As observer, one must be sufficiently objective to provide necessary rudimentary guidance to the patient. As participant, one enters into the life of the patient and .. | Irvin D. Yalom | ||

| 0eaf6ed | Problemlerinin aslinda gormek istemedigi seyleri saklamak icin kopardigi yaygaradan ibaret oldugunu ona nasil anlatabilirim? Sacma sapan dusunceler zihninin mantar gibi kapliyor. Sonunda butun bedenine yayilip onu mahvedecek. Bugun giderken ona bu sacmaliklarla kendini kor etmezse neler gorebilecegini sordum. Boylelikle yolunu gosterdim. Bunu yapabilecek mi? | Irvin D. Yalom | ||

| b022714 | How? It's obvious. You told me yourself, Lou is like your Bertha--she's an automaton, playing her role, the same role, with me, with you, with one man after the other. The particular man is incidental. She seduced both of us in the same way, with the same female deviousness, the same guile, the same gestures, the same promises!"

Mozda se on jednom duboko zagledao u uzas sopstvene egzistencije. Mozda je previse video! Mozda je susreo nagrizajuce ralje vremena, ili sopstvenu nistavnost - to da je puka cestica - ili prolaznost i slucajnost. Njegov strah je bio sirov i uzasan do dana kada je otkrio da .. | Irvin D.

| 4baa8c8 | Sterven is echter de eenzaamste gebeurtenis van het leven. We worden er niet alleen door van anderen afgescheiden, maar daarnaast stelt het ons ook bloot aan een nog angstaanjagender vorm van eenzaamheid: het is een scheiding van de wereld zelf. | Irvin D. Yalom | ||

| 9c61c9d | Too many people are overly respectful, braying, 'You're so brave' and Irv fell smack into that trap. After all what's so courageous about having cancer? Once we have it, what choice do we have? But the worst thing of all--and thank God Irv doesn't do this, at least not yet--is all this nonsensical talk about a patient's courageous struggle with cancer that all too often ends in defeat. How many obituaries do you see stating that so-and-so l.. | Irvin D. Yalom | ||
| 854b68d | Existential isolation, a third given, refers to the unbridgeable gap between self and others, a gap that exists even in the presence of deeply gratifying interpersonal relationships. One is isolated not only from other beings but, to the extent that one constitutes one's world, from world as well. Such isolation is to be distinguished from two other types of isolation: interpersonal and intrapersonal isolation. One experiences interpersonal.. | Irvin D. Yalom | ||
| 5d425cf | De waarheid,' vervolgde Nietzsche, 'wordt ontdekt door ongeloof en scepsis, niet door een kinderlijk verlangen dat iets zus of zo zou mogen zijn! De wens van uw patient om in Gods handen te zijn is niet de waarheid. Het is alleen maar een kinderlijke wens - meer niet! Het is een verlangen om niet te sterven, het verlangen naar de eeuwige fopspeen die wij "God" hebben genoemd! De evolutietheorie toont wetenschappelijk aan dat God overbodig w.. | Irvin D. Yalom | ||
| 49f07ee | One's efforts to escape isolation can sabotage one's relationships with other people. Many a friendship or marriage has failed because, instead of relating to, and caring for, one another, one person uses another as a shield against isolation. | Irvin D. Yalom | ||
