Elizabeth GilbertLooking for Truth is not some kind of spazzy free-for-all, not even during this, the great age of the spazzy free-for-all.
About This Quote
The expression “spazzy free-for-all” conveys the idea that there is no particular order or method to finding or growing one’s truth. It also suggests that the only thing that matters is finding whatever you want to find, whenever you want to find it, and that there is no obligation whatsoever to share your discovery with anyone else. Truth, however, is anything but spazzy or free. It is a precious and fragile thing and we must care for it as though it were a newborn child. We must protect and nurture truth and not allow others to trample on it with their selfishness.
