I finished reading eat, pray, love last night and decided that I want to start documenting my favorite lines in books before i take them back to the library or put them back on the shelf. I'm always finding turns of phrase or compelling descriptions when I read and logging them in my memory, but how often do i ever return to them? So I'm going to try logging them here.
Eat, Pray, Love, by Elizabeth Gilbert is the first non-fiction book I've read in a long time. I enjoyed learning about the cultures and people of Italy, India, and Indonesia and also discovering things about myself that the author was learning during her year of travels.
Here are some favorite lines, in no particular order:
"Having a baby is like getting a tattoo on your face. You really need to be certain it's what you want before you commit."
"At some point you gotta let go and sit still and allow contentment to come to you."
"We sit on the beach and watch the dangerous waves, watch the lean brown and white Indonesian and Western surf-cats slice across the water like zippers ripping open the backs of the ocean's blue party dress." (can't you just picture that? I love it!)
Maybe this will inspire me tomorrow as I'm writing about furniture...
