More quotes by 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
It's not an accident that both my sister and I are writers. Our parents created an accidental Petri dish.

Elizabeth Gilbert
I can honestly say [that writing] is the best life there is, because you get to live within the realm of your own mind, and that is a profoundly rare human privilege.
Elizabeth Gilbert
Learn your way around loneliness. Make a map of it. Sit with it, for once in your life. Welcome to the human experience.
Elizabeth Gilbert
God dwells within you, as you.
Elizabeth Gilbert
Traveling-to-a-place energy and living-in-a-place energy are two fundamentally different energies
Elizabeth Gilbert
Faith is belief in what you cannot see or prove or touch. Faith is walking face-first and full-speed into the dark.
Elizabeth Gilbert
I actually have a great deal of respect for antidepressants I think they can be enormously mighty tools toward recovery.
