Beautiful Long Curiosity

More From Elizabeth Gilbert

I would rather be funny than gorgeous, absolutely. because it's too hard to be gorgeous, you know. i could make a stab at gorgeous as long as i had something funny to say to get out of it.

That was actually lloyd phillips who was a kiwi film producer in l.a. and it was about gorgeous george, not haystacks calhoun. i was in a couple of lloyd's films and got approached to write the story. people don't realize it, but gorgeous george had this flamboyant, camp stage persona that had a tremendous influence on other celebrities, like elton john, liberace, elvis presley, and mohammed ali, who all wanted to establish their own outlandish stage personas. the project died because gorgeous george's wife refused to give up the rights.

Curiosity can bring guts out of hiding at times, maybe even get them going. but curiosity usually evaporates. gust have to go for the long haul. curiosity's like a fun friend you can't really trust. it turns you on and then it leaves you to make it on your own - with whatever guts you can muster

Be glαd of life, becαuse it gives you the chαnce to love αnd to work αnd to plαy αnd to look up αt the stαrs; to be sαtisfied with your posessions, to despise nothing in the world except fαlsehood αnd meαnness αnd to feαr nothing except cowαrdice; to be governed by your αdmirαtions rαther thαn by your disgusts, to covet nothing thαt is your neighbour's except his kindness of heαrt αnd gentleness of mαnners; to think seldom of your enemies, often of your friends and to spend αs much time αs you cαn with body αnd with spirit.

We stand there, quiet. my questions all seem wrong: how did you get so old? was it all at once, in a day, or did you peter out bit by bit? when did you stop having parties? did everyone else get old too, or was it just you? are other people still here, hiding in the palm trees or holding their breath underwater? when did you last swim your laps? do your bones hurt? did you know this was coming and hide that you knew, or did it ambush you from behind?

Nine requisites for contented living: health enough to make work a pleasure. wealth enough to support your needs. strength to battle with difficulties and overcome them. grace enough to confess your sins and forsake them. patience enough to toil until some good is accomplished. charity enough to see some good in your neighbor. love enough to move you to be useful and helpful to others. faith enough to make real the things of god. hope enough to remove all anxious fears concerning the future.

Similar Quotes

I'm not asking you to forgive me. i'll never understand or forgive myself. and if a bullet gets me, so help me, i'll laugh at myself for being an idiot. there's one thing i do know... and that is that i love you, scarlett. in spite of you and me and the whole silly world going to pieces around us, i love you. because we're alike. bad lots, both of us. selfish and shrewd. but able to look things in the eyes as we call them by their right names.

Earth's the right place for love. i don't know where it's likely to go better.

If i knew that today would be the last time i’d see you, i would hug you tight and pray the lord be the keeper of your soul. if i knew that this would be the last time you pass through this door, i’d embrace you, kiss you, and call you back for one more. if i knew that this would be the last time i would hear your voice, i’d take hold of each word to be able to hear it over and over again. if i knew this is the last time i see you, i’d tell you i love you, and would not just assume foolishly you know it already.

You could run to the farthest corners of the earth. there's no place you could go where i wouldn't love you. nothing you could do to stop me.
