Elizabeth Gilbert

Elizabeth Gilbert
Given that life is so short, do I really want to spend one-ninetieth of my remaining days on earth reading Edward Gibbon?
Elizabeth Gilbert
I would like to spend the rest of my days in a place so silent–and working at a pace so slow–that I would be able to hear myself living.
