Elizabeth Gilbert

Never forget that once upon a time, in an unguarded moment, you recognized yourself as a friend.

We search for happiness everywhere, but we are like Tolstoy`s fabled beggar who spent his life sitting on a pot of gold, begging for pennies from every passerby, unaware that his fortune was right under him the whole time. Your treasure - your perfection - is within you already. But to claim it, you must leave the busy commotion of the mind and abandon the desires of the ego and enter into the silence of the heart.

Do not apologize for crying. Without this emotion, we are only robots.

We must get our hearts broken sometimes. This is a good sign, having a broken heart. It means we have tried for something.
