Elizabeth Gilbert Quotes About Virtue

Quotes about: Virtue

  Believe, Writing, Self

• The notion is that human beings are born, (as my Guru has explained many times,) with equivalent potential for both contraction and expansion.

The madness of this planet is largely a result of human being's difficulty in coming into virtuous balance with himself. Lunacy (both collective and individual) results.
