Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

“The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing, and becomes nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot

Only the person who risks is truly free.”
Leo Buscaglia

“There’s a crack (or cracks) in everyone…that’s how the light of God gets in.”
