من شأن السجود أن يصبح باردًا ويغرق في الملل المألوف إن تركت... - Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

"There’s a part of me which has always wanted to hear a man say, "Let me take care of you forever,"and I have never heard it spoken before. Over the last few years, I’d given up looking for that person, learned how to say this heartening sentence to myself, especially in times of fear. But to hear it from someone else now, from someone who is speaking sincerely..."

"You are, after all, what you think. Your emotions are the slaves to your thoughts, and you are the slave to your emotions."

"We're miserable because we think that we are mere individuals, alone with our fears and flaws and resentment and mortality."

"When I get lonely these days, I think: So BE lonely, Liz. Learn your way around loneliness. Make a map of it. Sit with it, for once in your life. Welcome to the human experience. But never again use another person's body or emotions as a scratching post for your own unfulfilled yearnings."

"I couldn't care less about evidence and proof and assurances. I just want God. I want God inside me. I want God to play in my bloodstream the way sunlight amuses itself on water."
