“We search for happiness everywhere, but we are like
Tolstoy's fabled beggar who spent his life sitting on a pot of gold, 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.”

“When I get lonely these days, I think: So BE lonely...
Learn your way around loneliness. Make a map of it. Sit with it, for once in
your life. Welcome to the human experience. But never again use another
person's body or emotions as a scratching post for your own unfulfilled
yearnings.”

Quotes by Elizabeth Gilbert from the book "Eat, Love, Pray".
“This is a good sign,
having a broken heart.
It means we have tried
for something.”
E. Gilbert

"Happiness comes from within "
