Elizabeth Gilbert quote #383 from Eat

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.
