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.

Let your conscience be your guide.
Elizabeth Gilbert
Oh, I just want what we all want: a comfortable couch, a nice beverage, a weekend of no distractions and a book that will stop time, lift me out of my quotidian existence and alter my thinking forever.
Elizabeth Gilbert
I'm trying to dismantle a stereotype that in order to live any kind of creative life, you have to be in torment and suffering. We're addicted to this idea because it makes for good bio pics... but I actually think it's better to live a life where you're constantly exploring your curiosity and creativity.

But you must stop looking at the world through your head. You must look through your heart, instead. That way, you will know God.
Elizabeth Gilbert
Here's the thing: the unit of reverence in Europe is the family, which is why a child born today of unmarried parents in Sweden has a better chance of growing up in a house with both of his parents than a child born to a married couple in America. Here we revere the couple, there they revere the family.
Elizabeth Gilbert
Nobody wants to do it - not real change, not soul change, not the painful molecular change required to truly become who you need to be. Nobody ever does real transformation for fun. Nobody ever does it on a dare. You do it only when your back is so far against the wall that you have no choice anymore.
Elizabeth Gilbert
This is intimacy: the trading of stories in the dark.
Elizabeth Gilbert
Nothing is less efficient than perfectionism.
Elizabeth Gilbert
There is a theory that if you yearn sincerely enough for a Guru, you will find one. The universe will shift, destiny's molecules will get themselves organized and your path will soon intersect with the path of the master you need.
Elizabeth Gilbert
the beauty of doing nothing
Elizabeth Gilbert
God wants us to be in joy, God wants us to be happy.
Elizabeth Gilbert
Success isn't about acquiring things, it's about discovering your life purpose and following the call
Elizabeth Gilbert
Mistakes will be made. Failure will occur. You pick yourself up and carry on.

I watched them, thinking that little girls who make their mothers live grow up to be such powerful women.
