Quote by Elin Hilderbrand

“He was too busy attacking the buffet table- tenderloin, crab claws, gravlax, mushrooms, cherrystones on the half shell. He held one out to Adrienne. "Eat this," he said. "No, thanks." "Come on." "I'm not hungry." "Not hungry?" he said. He piled his plate with Chinese spare ribs. "This food is incredible.”

“For the better part of a decade, I figured I was better off being slightly unhealthy and leaving the active pursuit of body-related matters alone. This all changed once I joined the Peace Corps, where it was impossible to think too much about my appearance, and where health was of such immediately importance that it was always on my mind. I developed active tuberculosis while volunteering and, for some stress- or nutrition-related reason, started to shed my thick black hair. I realized how much I had taken my functional body for granted. I lived in a mile-long village in the middle of a western province in Kyrgyzstan: there were larch trees on the snowy mountains, flocks of sheep crossing dusty roads, but there was no running water, no grocery store. The resourceful villagers preserved peppers and tomatoes, stockpiled apples and onions, but it was so difficult to get fresh produce otherwise that I regularly fantasized about spinach and oranges, and would spend entire weekends trying to obtain them. As a prophylactic measure against mental breakdown, I started doing yoga in my room every day. Exercise, I thought. What a miracle!”

“هر کجا هستم،باشم آسمان مال من است. پنجره،فکر،هوا،عشق،زمین مال من است. چه اهمیت دارد؟ گاه اگر می رویند قارچ های غربت؟ من نمی دانم که چرامیگویند:اسب حیوان نجیبی است،کبوترزیباست؟ وچرادرقفس هیچ کسی کرکس نیست؟ گل شبدرچه کم ازلاله ی قرمزدارد؟ چشمهارابایدشست،جوردیگربایددید. واژه ها رابایدشست. واژه بایدخودباد،واژه بایدخودباران باشد. چترهارابایدبست، زیرباران بایدرفت”
