Elizabeth Gilbert Quotes - Page 10

• I have a lot of trouble forgiving myself for being so dumb... But yes, of course, the big generous compassionate view that you should take of yourself and of all events is: what a glorious circus train this has been, and what a wonderful messy parade, and all of those steps took me here, where I precisely need to be now, so God bless it.

• El gran poeta y filósofo sufí Rumi aconsejó una vez a sus alumnos que escribieran las tres cosas que más deseaban en la vida. Si alguna de las cosas de la lista choca con otra, advertía Rumi, estás destinado a la infelicidad. Es mejor llevar una vida centrada en un único objetivo, enseñaba. Pero, ¿qué hay de los beneficios de vivir en armonía entre los extremos? ¿Y si de alguna manera pudieras crear una vida lo suficientemente expansiva como para sincronizar opuestos aparentemente incongruentes en una visión del mundo que no excluye nada?

• Una verdadera alma gemela es probablemente la persona más importante que jamás conocerás, porque derriba tus muros y te despierta a bofetadas. ¿Pero vivir con un alma gemela para siempre?

• Para encontrar el equilibrio que deseas, esto es en lo que debes convertirte. Debes mantener los pies tan firmemente arraigados a la tierra que sea como si tuvieras 4 piernas en lugar de 2. De este modo, podrás permanecer en el mundo. Pero debes dejar de mirar el mundo a través de tu cabeza. En su lugar, debes mirar a través de tu corazón. Así conocerás a Dios.

• Every woman deserves a man that can make her heart forget that it was ever broken. Even if these have been broken to pieces to me,this represents a person who gave me a complete,flawless heart. I don't need someone who makes my heart whole. Instead, I need someone who will never let me feel broken. This is a good sign, having a broken heart. It means we have tried for something.

• I'm an enormous product of my century, I'm a product of my upbringing. I was not aware of the fact that I was entering marriage with the highest set of expectations that humans have ever brought to the institution. It was really good to find that out. It doesn't have to be the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end, the moon and the stars - it can just be the moon. It's enough that it just can be what it is.

• Marriage is an ongoing, centuries-long social experiment that is mostly controlled by the individuals in the relationships who insist on determining what the relationship terms are going to be. And that's why the terms of marriage change with every century and decade. We're shaping it from the inside. Marriage endures because it evolves. Obviously it does. None of us would accept marriage on its 13th century terms, not even the most conservative people...
