“Every thought we think is creating our future.”

“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

“[My husband] can beat most anyone in Trivial Pursuit, but only because the game does not include questions like "Where is your wallet?”
― Amy Sutherland, What Shamu Taught Me About Life, Love, and Marriage: Lessons for People from Animals and Their Trainers
