Quotes

I loved the book Eat, Pray, Love. I read it last year at a point in my life that I was alone, and down over a man that had hurt me. There are a few quotes that I relate to so much that I often think about when the cards are not playing in my favor with a man. Here are the ones that pretty much discribe me to a tee:

"I have a history of making decisions very quickly about men. I have always fallen in love fast and without measuring risks. I have a tendency not only to see the best in everyone, but to assume that everyone is emotionally capable of reaching his highest potential. I have fallen in love more times than I care to count with the highest potential of a man, rather than with the man himself, and I have hung on to the relationship for a long time (sometimes far too long) waiting for the man to ascend to his own greatness. Many times in romance I have been a victim of my own optimism."

"If I love you, I will carry for you all your pain, I will assume for you all your debts (in every definition of the word), I will protect you from your own insecurity, I will protect upon you all sorts of good qualities that you have never actually cultivated in yourself and I will buy Christmas presents for your entire family. I will give you the sun and the rain, and if they are not available, I will give you a sun check and a rain check. I will give you all this and more, until I get so exhausted and depleted that the only way I can recover my energy is by becoming infatuated with someone else."


"This is a good sign, having a broken heart. It means we have tried for something. "

I can't wait to see the movie, missed it in the Theater, so waiting for DVD.
