“I've come to believe that there exists in the universe something I call
"The Physics of The Quest" — A force of nature governed by laws as real as the laws of gravity or momentum. And the rule of Quest Physics maybe goes like this:
"If you are brave enough to leave behind everything familiar and comforting (which can be anything from your house to your bitter old resentments) and set out on a truth-seeking journey (either externally or internally), and if you are truly willing to regard everything that happens to you on that journey as a clue, and if you accept everyone you meet along the way as a teacher, and if you are prepared – most of all – to face (and forgive) some very difficult realities about yourself …. Then the truth will not be withheld from you." Or so I've come to believe.”
― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love
