Quote by Elizabeth Gilbert

“Para hallar el equilibrio que buscas te tienes que convertir en esto. Debes tener los pies tan firmemente plantados en la tierra que parezca que tienes cuatro piernas en lugar de dos. De este modo podrás estar en el mundo. Pero debes dejar de mirar el mundo con la mente. Tienes que mirarlo con el corazón. Así llegarás a conocer a Dios.”

“—¿Te quedarás cerca de la casa? —le preguntó desde lejos. Therru duerme. Quiero caminar un poco. —Sí. Ve—le dijo y ella se echó a andar, meditando en la indiferencia de un hombre ante las exigencias que regían a una mujer: que hubiera alguien cerca de un niño dormido, que la libertad de uno supusiera la falta de libertad de otro, a menos que se llegara a un equilibrio en perpetuo cambio, en perpetuo movimiento, como el equilibrio de un cuerpo que avanza, como avanzaba ella ahora, con las dos piernas, primero una, luego la otra, en la práctica de ese arte extreordinario, el caminar...”

“...eninde sonunda öyle bir an gelir ki, herkesin bir kesinlik olarak gördüğü şey görevini yerine getirmez olur, hareketi kanıtlamak için yürümek, yaşamayı kanıtlamak için nefes almak yetersiz kalır. O andan itibaren her şey sorulara dönüşür ama cevapsız sorulara: daha dışa vurulduğu an, sorgulamanın yıkıcı olmaktan öte bir etkisi yokmuş gibidir: sorgulayan, gerçeği, kanıtı arayıp bulayım derken olsa olsa kuşkuyla karşı karşıya gelir. Hem zaten, sorgulayan ben artık var olduğundan bile emin değilken, nasıl bir sorgulama yapılabilir ki?”

“I am your shower curtain and I am watching you. I surround you, I shield you, and I like you. I like to see the water touch you, travel down upon you, searching, falling away from you. I like to see you lather. I like to see you rinse. I like to see you thinking your thoughts with your eyes closed. I do not like to hear you hum. I do not like to hear you sing. I like you quiet. I like you thinking, silently, your lips moving, your eyes closed tight. I like your fingers. Your wrists, your toes. I like your shins. Your knees. I like the way the water funnels between your legs and cascades down, turning in corkscrews. I like it when you like yourself. When you give a moment to your thighs. When you give a moment to the back of your neck, to the inner fold of your arm. Take a moment. Give yourself time. Take the soap and make circles on your flesh. Make slow circles on your flesh. Make long elliptical shapes upon your beautiful flesh. Your beautiful flesh today. Tomorrow your flesh will be different. It will be older. Appreciate it now. Your flesh is a miracle. You started from nothing. From an egg too small to see. Then a relentless multiplication of cells, each one a miracle, each one a preposterous happening. And from this ridiculous profusion now you are you. You are a giant. You are a giant and water is falling upon you and you are cleaning yourself because you are beautiful. Please don’t think about anything else. I know I said I liked to see you think but that, i realize now, is not true. I don’t want to see you think. I only want the elliptical touching of your flesh. throw your mind away and enjoy your wet flesh. thrill in your existence. Your persistence. the fact that you can be here, under this falling water. this, as much as any other reason, is why you are here, why you exist. to enjoy this. to feel this. it is good enough. It is good enough to justify everything else.”
