“You are still young, so you think only of your own self. You do not notice the tribulations that occur all around you, to other people. Do not protest; it is true. I am not condemning you. I was as selfish as you, when I was your age. It is the custom of the young to be selfish... But someday you will understand that nobody passes through this world without suffering--no matter what you think of them and their supposed good fortune.”
― Elizabeth Gilbert, The Signature of All Things

“The beauty and variety of the natural world are merely the visible legacies of endless war.”
― Elizabeth Gilbert, The Signature of All Things
