Always Quote by Elizabeth Gilbert

“I've always considered myself lucky that I do not have many passions. There's only one pursuit that I have ever truly loved, and that pursuit is writing. This means, conveniently enough, that I never had to search for my destiny; I only had to obey it.” quote by Elizabeth Gilbert
