Elizabeth Gilbert on Truth-Hunting
“If you’re brave enough to leave behind everything familiar and comforting, which can be anything from your house to bitter, old resentments, and set out on a truth seeking journey, and if you are truly willing to regard everything that happens to you on that journey as a clue and if you accept everyone you meet along the way as a teacher and if you are prepared, most of all, to face and forgive some very difficult realities about yourself, then the truth will not be withheld from you.”
“In order to change we must be sick and tired of being sick and tired.”
“There are plenty of difficult obstacles in your path. Don’t allow yourself to become one of them.” – Ralph Marston

Our city
and
their city
exist one inside the other
but they are not the same city.
we may share a name
but we do not share the same vision.
