Elizabeth Gilbert
“I knew then that this is how God loves us all and receives us all, and that there is no such thing in this universe as hell, except maybe in our own terrified minds. Because if even one broken and limited human being could experience even one such episode of absolute forgiveness and acceptance of her own self, then imagine—just imagine!—what God, in all His eternal compassion, can forgive and accept.”
Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
“He paused. He often paused before he spoke. She thought this exquisite; it was as though he had such regard for his listener that he wanted his words strung together in the best possible way.”
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Americanah

Elizabeth Gilbert

Elizabeth Gilbert, City of Girls

Elizabeth Gilbert
“How long have you worked for my aunt?” I asked her. “Since Moses was in nappies.”
Elizabeth Gilbert, City of Girls

Jodi Picoult
“Because a man who argues is ambitious, but a woman who argues is just a bitch.”
