I've always considered myself lucky that I do not have many passions. There's only one pursuit that I have ever truly loved, and that pursuit is writing. This means, conveniently enough, that I never had to search for my destiny; I only had to obey it.

  • -- Elizabeth Gilbert 伊丽莎白·吉尔伯特

我一直认为自己很幸运,因为我没有太多的激情。只有一种追求是我真正热爱的,那就是写作。这就意味着,我从来不必去寻找我的命运,这是很方便的。我只需要服从它。
