“I want to have a lasting experience of God', I told him. 'Sometimes I feel like I understand the divinity of this world, but then I lose it because I get distracted by my petty desires and fears. I want to be with God all the time. But I don't want to be a monk or totally give up worldly pleasures. I guess what I want to learn is how to live in this world and enjoy its delights, but also devote myself to God.”
― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

“When each day is the same as the next, it’s because people fail to recognize the good things that happen in their lives every day that the sun rises.”
