Elizabeth Gilbert
“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.”
Elizabeth Gilbert, Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear
