“I have a history of making decisions very quickly about men. I have always fallen in love fast and without measuring risks. I have a tendency not only to see the best in everyone, but to assume that everyone is emotionally capable of reaching his highest potential. I have fallen in love more times than I care to count with the highest potential of a man, rather than with the man himself, and I have hung on to the relationship for a long time (sometimes far too long) waiting for the man to ascend to his own greatness. Many times in romance I have been a victim of my own optimism.”
― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

“I would like to be the air that inhabits you for a moment only. I would like to be that unnoticed and that necessary.”

“If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all.”

“Friendship is everything. Friendship is more than talent. It is more than the government. It is almost the equal of family.”
