Elizabeth Gilbert Quotes

My friend Kate once went to a concert of Mongolian throat singers who were traveling through New York City on a rare world tour.

After the concert, Kate approached the lead Mongolian singer and asked, "What are your songs about?" He replied, "Our songs are about the same things that everyone else's songs are about: lost love, and somebody stole your fastest horse.
