Off to Foreign Parts



If you are brave enough to leave behind everything familiar and comforting, which can be anything from your house to 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 to forgive some very difficult realities about yourself, then ... the truth will not be withheld from you.
—Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love
