And we have a little herb garden, which survived the winter thanks to global warming. It makes me feel like a cool, old Italian housewife, that I kept my rosemary alive outside all winter.

More quotes by Elizabeth Gilbert
traveling is the great true love of my life
Elizabeth Gilbert
We set up one rule in our house, which is, 'Guests of guests cannot bring guests.' That rule was required because that happened one weekend, and we finally said, 'Okay, you know what? That's a little too much.'
Elizabeth Gilbert
Your home is that thing to which you can dedicate your energies with such singular devotion that the ultimate results become inconsequential.
Elizabeth Gilbert
Infatuation is not quite the same thing as love it's more like love's shady second cousin who's always borrowing money and can't hold down a job.
Elizabeth Gilbert
I believe that - if you are serious about a life of writing, or indeed about any creative form of expression - that you should take on this work like a holy calling.
Elizabeth Gilbert
To my taste, the men in Rome are ridiculously, hurtfully, stupidly beautiful. More beautiful even than Roman women, to be honest. Italian men are beautiful in the same way as French women, which is to say-- no detail spared in the quest for perfection. They’re like show poodles. Sometimes they look so good I want to applaud.
Elizabeth Gilbert
God never slams a door in your face without opening a box of Girl Scout cookies.
Elizabeth Gilbert
I completely respect the ways people are bound in the lives that they have, whether it's because of forces outside of their control or choices that they've made that they want to honor with their own responsibilities and obligations - taking care of people around them or being a part of a community, or their work.
Elizabeth Gilbert
A man that can cook you a proper meal that is like a weekday meal - which I think cannot be better than in the form of a roast chicken - that's the greatest.
Elizabeth Gilbert
I myself have never been enchanted by the dream of the white wedding, and, heaven help us, the expectation that this exquisitely catered event should be 'the happiest moment' of one's life.
Elizabeth Gilbert
Addiction is the hallmark of every infatuation-based love story.
Elizabeth Gilbert
I watched them, thinking that little girls who make their mothers live grow up to be such powerful women.
Elizabeth Gilbert
Mistakes will be made. Failure will occur. You pick yourself up and carry on.
Elizabeth Gilbert
It used to be that god was revealed in the wonders of nature now God was being challenged by those same wonders. Scholars were now required to choose one side or the other.
Elizabeth Gilbert
I want to explore the art of pleasure in Italy, the art of devotion in India and, in Indonesia, the art of balancing the two. It was only later, after admitting this dream, that I noticed the happy coincidence that all these countries begin with the letter I. A fairly auspicious sign, it seemed, on a voyage of self-discovery.
Elizabeth Gilbert
I crossed the street to walk in the sunshine.
Elizabeth Gilbert
Nothing in the last few years has dazzled me more than Hilary Mantel's 'Wolf Hall,' which blew the top of my head straight off. I've read it three times, and I'm still trying to figure out how she put that magnificent thing together.
Elizabeth Gilbert
Ruin is a gift. Ruin is the road to transformation.
Elizabeth Gilbert
There is hardly a more gracious gift that we can offer somebody than to accept them fully, to love them almost despite themselves.
Elizabeth Gilbert
That's what we're all sort of trying to do in our lives - to make the simplest things work out the best.
Elizabeth Gilbert
