More quotes by Elizabeth Gilbert
To lose balance sometimes for love is part of living a balanced life.
Elizabeth Gilbert
a woman's place is in the kitchen...sitting in a comfortable chair, with her feet up, drinking a glass of wine and watching her husband cook dinner.
Elizabeth Gilbert
Generally speaking, that's good drama - the marriage plot or the tragedy - but the reality of women's lives is that most of us don't get what we wanted, and most of us find ways to have really interesting lives anyway.
Elizabeth Gilbert
I crossed the street to walk in the sunshine.
Elizabeth Gilbert
I thought about one of my favorite Sufi poems, which says that God long ago drew a circle in the sand exactly around the spot where you are standing right now. I was never not coming here. This was never not going to happen.

Elizabeth Gilbert
Most of us, even if only for two minutes in our lives, have experienced at some time or another an inexplicable and random sense of complete bliss, unrelated to anything that was happening in the outside world.
Elizabeth Gilbert
Women are capable of enduring a tremendous amount of disappointment and still have a good life.
Elizabeth Gilbert
I want to learn how to speak Italian. For years, I'd wished I could speak Italian--a language I find more beautiful than roses :)
Elizabeth Gilbert
In a world of disorder and disaster and fraud, sometimes only beauty can be trusted.
Elizabeth Gilbert
Watch for the people whose eyes light up when you talk about your dream. Those are the people you keep.
Elizabeth Gilbert
When you have only two minutes to say good-bye to the person you love most in the world, and you don’t know when you’ll see each other again, you can become logjammed with the effort to say and do and settle everything at once.
Elizabeth Gilbert
Your tears are my prayers.
Elizabeth Gilbert
I've ruined my eyes, I've ruined my health from my studiousness!
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
traveling is the great true love of my life
Elizabeth Gilbert
You were given life it is your duty (and also your entitlement as a human being) to find something beautiful within life, no matter how slight.
Elizabeth Gilbert
