“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.”
-- Elizabeth Gilbert
“Forgiveness means giving up all hope for a better past.”

“If you can cultivate the right attitude, your enemies are your best spiritual teachers because their presence provides you with the opportunity to enhance and develop tolerance, patience and understanding.”

“To think that you know what’s best for another person is to be out of your business. The result is anxiety, worry, and fear. When you mentally step out of your business, you think that you know more than he, she, or God. The only real question is “Can I know what’s right for myself?" That is your only business. And, as you eventually come to see, not even that.”
--Byron Katie
