“I have a history of making decisions very quickly about men. I have always fallen in love fast and without measuring risks. I have a tendency not only to see the best in everyone, but to assume that everyone is emotionally capable of reaching his highest potential. I have fallen in love more times than I care to count with the highest potential of a man, rather than with the man himself, and I have hung on to the relationship for a long time (sometimes far too long) waiting for the man to ascend to his own greatness. Many times in romance I have been a victim of my own optimism.”
- Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love
...and it's kinda weird, because I can recognize the same behavior in myself. Okaaaay everyone who keeps telling me to read Eat, Pray, Love...I give up. I'll read it. After I finish my sci-fi book. :)
