Elizabeth Wurtzel Quotes

I still smile it's not worth the trouble any more for a long time now it's not been worth the trouble the tongue spring goes into the mud I stay like this not thirsty any more the tongue goes back into the mouth it closes it has to make a straight line now it's done I've made the image.

Muddy water is best cleared by leaving it alone.

Let go of the battle. Breathe quietly and let it be. Let your body relax and your heart soften. Open to whatever you experience without fighting.

When we have done our best, we should wait the result in peace.

The best thing one can do when it's raining is to let it rain.

Lie down and listen to the crabgrass grow The faucet leak, and learn to leave them so.

Four-fifths of all our troubles would disappear, if we would only sit down and keep still.

What some people interpret as brooding melancholy is serenity. I don't feel required to grasp all the time.

Do nothing. Do nothing. Let it happen. Don't try.

Surrender is a journey from the outer turmoil to the inner peace.

At some point, you gotta let go, and sit still, and allow contentment to come to you.

Be content with doing calmly the little which depends upon yourself, and let all else be to you as if it were not.

The Bauls say, "Don't try to force anything." Let life be a deep let-go. See God opening millions of flowers every day without forcing the buds, waiting, never in a hurry, giving their time to them. The Bauls say, "Everything happens at its right time, everything happens in its own season. Wait, don't be impatient, don't be in a hurry. All hurry is greed, and all hurry is a subtle fight." That which is going to happen will happen. Whenever it is going to happen it will happen; you need not fight existence. You can surrender, you can trust.

Nothing has to happen immediately, this minute, or right now. It's okay to pause for just a moment. Just take a breath. Then go quietly inside. Ask life itself to lead you to your best outcome. There's nothing you have to do, really, except get out of your own way.

Be patient, do nothing, cease striving. We find this advice disheartening and therefore unfeasible because we forget it is our own inflexible activity that is structuring the reality.

When the situation is hopeless, there's nothing to worry about.

Whenever you deeply accept this moment as it is - no matter what form it takes - you are still, you are at peace.

Stop running after the waves. Let the sea come to you.

Often times, the greatest peace comes of surrender.

The answer will only arrive after we stop looking for it.
