More quotes by Elizabeth Gilbert
I've ruined my eyes, I've ruined my health from my studiousness!
Elizabeth Gilbert
In fact, it was all I could do to stop myself from saying, 'I've always been a big fan of your work.
Elizabeth Gilbert
To find the balance you want, this is what you must become. You must keep your feet grounded so firmly on the earth that it's like you have 4 legs instead of 2. That way, you can stay in the world. 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
Zen masters say you cannot see your reflection in running water, only in still water.
Elizabeth Gilbert
True power comes from standing in your own truth and walking your own path.
Elizabeth Gilbert
You might get nothing out of it at all except a beautiful, long life where all you did was follow your gorgeous curiosity. And that should be enough too.
Elizabeth Gilbert
There are always two figures in a marriage, two votes, two conflicting sets of decisions, desires and limitations.

traveling is the great true love of my life
Elizabeth Gilbert
I'm choosing happiness over suffering, I know I am. I'm making space for the unknown future to fill up my life with yet-to-come surprises.
Elizabeth Gilbert
There is a level of grief so deep that it stops resembling grief at all. The pain becomes so severe that the body can no longer feel it. The grief cauterizes itself, scars over, prevents inflated feeling. Such numbness is a kind of mercy.
Elizabeth Gilbert
When it comes to women, get your life together first. Put on your own oxygen mask first. Figure out who you are. Mature. And then go find somebody to share that life with.
Elizabeth Gilbert
The sound universe is also spectacular around here. In the evenings there's a cricket orchestra with frogs providing the bass line. In the dead of night the dogs howl about how misunderstood they are. Before dawn the roosters for miles around announce how freaking cool it is to be roosters.
Elizabeth Gilbert
I actually have a great deal of respect for antidepressants I think they can be enormously mighty tools toward recovery.
Elizabeth Gilbert
Creativity is a scavenger hunt. It's your obligation to pay attention to clues, to the thing that gives you that little tweak.
Elizabeth Gilbert
We alter and customize the thing every century, every generation, every day - both in the courts and in our own homes. And marriage accepts our modifications gracefully. Marriage adapts, evolves and (in a manner that I find miraculous and kind of inspiring) somehow keeps chugging along.
Elizabeth Gilbert
You write fiction, you're writing memoir, and when you're writing memoir, you're writing fiction.
Elizabeth Gilbert
I cannot overstate the power of libraries in my life.
Elizabeth Gilbert
We invented marriage. Couples invented marriage. We also invented divorce,mind you. And we invented infidelity,too, as well as romantic misery. In fact we invented the whole sloppy mess of love and intimacy and aversion and euphoria and failure. But most importantly of all, most subversively of all, most stubbornly of all, we invented privacy.
Elizabeth Gilbert
I should just put it bluntly, because we're all sort of friends here now - it's exceedingly likely that my greatest success is behind me. Oh, so Jesus, what a thought! You know that's the kind of thought that could lead a person to start drinking gin at nine o'clock in the morning, and I don't want to go there.
Elizabeth Gilbert
True wisdom gives the only possible answer at any given moment, and that night, going back to bed was the only possible answer.
