  2. Elizabeth Gilbert _ Eat, Pray, Love

    Parla come magni,' It means, 'Speak the way you eat,' or in my personal translation: 'Say it like you eat it.' It's a reminder - when you're making a big deal out of explaining something, when you're searching for the right words - to keep your language as simple and direct as Roman rood.

  11. Elisabeth Elliot _ Passion and Purity: Learning
