| 264992e | We must have the stubbornness to accept our gladness in the ruthless furnace of this world. Without bravery, their lives would remain small-far smaller than they probably wanted their lives to be. Do you have the courage to bring forth the treasures that are hidden within you? I believe this is one of the oldest and most generous tricks the universe plays on us human beings, both of its own amusement and for ours. The universe buries stran.. | Elizabeth Gilbert | ||
| 3980ba4 | Most individuals have never had enough time, and they've never had enough resources, and they've never had enough support or patronage or reward . . . and yet still they persist in creating. They persist because they care. They persist because they are called to be makers, by any means necessary. | Elizabeth Gilbert | ||
| 860751c | But if your calling is to make things, then you still have to make things in order to live out your highest creative potential--and also in order to remain sane. | Elizabeth Gilbert | ||
| 5202d77 | You're afraid you have no talent. You're afraid you'll be rejected or criticized or ridiculed or misunderstood or--worst of all--ignored. You're afraid there's no market for your creativity, and therefore no point in pursuing it. You're afraid somebody else already did it better. You're afraid everybody else already did it better. You're afraid somebody will steal your ideas, so it's safer to keep them hidden forever in the dark. You're afr.. | Elizabeth Gilbert | ||
| a3cd0e6 | Pardon me, sir," Prudence said, directing her words and her placid gaze precisely at Professor Peck, "if I understand you correctly, it seems you have identified the different textures of human hair as evidence that Negroes, Indians, Orientals, and the white man are all members of different species. But I cannot help but wonder at your supposition. On this very estate, sir, we raise several varieties of sheep. Perhaps you noticed them as yo.. | same prudence-whittaker species sheep | Elizabeth Gilbert | |
| a49cb79 | But why must everything always have a practical application? | Elizabeth Gilbert | ||
| a7b511c | But you must stop looking at the world through your head. You must look through your heart, instead | Elizabeth Gilbert | ||
| 368fa62 | Exactly because the human heart is such a mystery, love renders all our plans and all our intentions a great big gamble. | Elizabeth Gilbert | ||
| a31ff36 | You need to learn how to select your thoughts just the same way you select what clothes you're gonna wear every day. This is a power you can cultivate. If you want to control things in your life so bad, work on the mind. That's the only thing you should be trying to control. Drop everything else but that. Because if you can't learn to master your thinking, you're in deep trouble forever. | Elizabeth Gilbert | ||
| 244684d | People always fall in love with the most perfect aspects of each other's personalities. Who wouldn't? Anybody can love the most wonderful parts of another person. But that's not the clever trick. The really clever trick is this: Can you accept the flaws? Can you look at your partner's faults honestly and say, 'I can work around that. I can make something out of that.'? Because the good stuff is always going to be there, and it's always goin.. | Elizabeth Gilbert | ||
| 40baf7e | Everything I've ever written has brought me into being. Every project has matured me in a different way. I am who I am today precisely because of what I have made, and what it has made me into. Creativity has hand raised me and forged me into an adult. | writting creativity | Elizabeth Gilbert | |
| f105b2e | But Glass, in her research, discovered that if you dig a little deeper into people's infidelities, you can almost always see how the affair started long before the first stolen kiss. Most affairs begin, Glass wrote, when a husband or wife makes a new friend, and an apparently harmless intimacy is born. You don't sense the danger as it's happening, because what's wrong with friendship? Why can't we have friends of the opposite sex--or of the.. | Elizabeth Gilbert | ||
| 3eaec5f | She had envisaged them traveling to Boston together, or perhaps even beyond--as far away as the Alps, climbing over boulders to hunt for pasqueflowers and rock-jasmine. He would say to her, "What do you make of this specimen?" and she would say, "It is fine and rare." | Elizabeth Gilbert | ||
| afdf112 | Polly was the same age as Alma, but daintier and startlingly beautiful. She looked like a perfect figurine carved out of fine French soap, into which someone had inlaid a pair of glittering peacock-blue eyes. But it was the tiny pink pillow of her mouth that made this girl more than simply pretty; it made her an unsettling little voluptuary, a Bathsheba wrought in miniature. | blonde-hair polly prudence-whittaker blue-eyes | Elizabeth Gilbert | |

Because it is his immortal part that longs for her; it is always the mortal part alone that longs for everything else. That eager and even ardent longing, directed to a particular woman, is therefore an immediate pledge of the indestructibility of t.. | philosophy | Arthur Schopenhauer | |

| 9485fee | The greatest wisdom is to make the enjoyment of the present the supreme object of life because that is the only reality, all else being the play of thought. But we could just as well call it our greatest folly because that which exists only a moment and vanishes as a dream can never be worth a serious effort. | Irvin D. Yalom | ||
| a34b9a7 | In choosing to enter fully into each patient's life, I, the therapist, not only am exposed to the same existential issues as are my patients but must be prepared to examine them with the same rules of inquiry. I must assume that knowing is better than not knowing, venturing than not venturing; and that magic and illusion, however rich, however alluring, ultimately weaken the human spirit. | Irvin D.
