“God isn't interested in watching you enact some performance of personality in order to comply with some crackpot notion you have about how a spiritual person looks or behaves. We all seem to get this idea that, in order to be sacred, we have to make some massive, dramatic change of character, that we have to renounce our individuality.”
― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

“David was catnip and kryptonite to me.”

“Well, just remember--all your misery will be waiting for you at the door upon your exit, should you care to pick it up again when you leave.”
― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

“Well, I always tried to look nice and be feminine even in the worst tragedies and crisis, there's no reason to add to everyone's misery by looking miserable yourself. That's my philosophy. This is why I always wore makeup and jewelry into the jungle-nothing too extravagant, but maybe just a nice gold bracelet and some earrings, a little lipstick, good perfume. Just enough to show that I still had my self-respect.”
― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love
