The bartender's eyes glowed with a hallucinatory felinity that made Mangle feel nervous.”

    Elizabeth Gilbert
    “When I tried this morning, after an hour or so of unhappy thinking, to dip back into my meditation, I took a new idea with me: compassion.

Instead of thinking that I was a failure, could I perhaps accept that I am only a human being--and a normal one, at that?”
