Eat pray love

In the begin, your object of affection bestows upon you a heady hallucinogenic dose of something you've never dared to admit you wanted, an emotional speedball of thunderous love and excitement.
Soon you start craving that attention with the hungry obsession of any junkie.
When it's withheld, you turn sick, crazy, not to mention resentful, of the dealer who encouraged this addiction in the first place, but now refuses to pony up the good stuff.
God damn him, and he used to give it to you for free.
Next stage, finds you skinny, shaking in a corner, certain only that you'd sell your soul just to have that one thing one more time.
Meanwhile, the object of your adoration is now repulsed by you. He looks at you like someone he's never met before. The irony is you can hardly blame him. You're a mess, unrecognizable even in your eyes.
You have now reached infatuation's final destination. The complete and merciless devaluation of self.
Isn't that the whole page of every classic love story, including how it begin and how it end?

Eat Pray Love quotes

  • Sharon in Seva Office: [Liz has been called to the seva office] We're taking you off the floor-scrubbing team. There are about 50 devotees arriving tomorrow from all over the world for a 10-day retreat, and we'd like you to be the key hostess. We ask that you don't take part during the meditations. We need you to watch over the flock, make sure everyone is all right

    Sharon in Seva Office: [continues, as Liz remains silent] We call the person who does this job, "Little Suzy Cream Cheese." You need to be social and bubbly and smiling all the time.

    Liz Gilbert: [breaking into a big smile] Madam... I'm your girl!
