“The other kind of control is self-control, a gift born by the Spirit of God to help us walk in the narrow way of life and to say no to things that pull us aside. I had neglected the Spirit within me, the self-control given to me in him, and I had tried to claim control that wasn’t even possible for me to have. Self-control is a rest in him and his way, and all other striving is an illusion of control that divided me in three, mind from body from soul.”

“The world ain’t straight. You grow up thinking things are a certain way. You think there are rules. You think there’s a way that things have to be. You try to live straight.

The world just happens to you sometimes, is what I think. And people just gotta keep moving through it, best they can.”
― Elizabeth Gilbert, City of Girls
