Elizabeth Gilbert
Your fear is just as boring as mine is. Everyone's got the same one. It is not precious. It is not special. It is not singular to you. It's just the one we all got wired with when we came in.

Elizabeth Gilbert

Elizabeth Gilbert

Elizabeth Gilbert
Dear me, how I love a library.
Elizabeth Gilbert
He endeared himself to me forever the first night we met, when I was getting frustrated with my inability to find the words I wanted in Italian, and he put his hand on my arm and said, Liz, you must be very polite with yourself when you are learning something new.

Elizabeth Gilbert
There is no choice more intensely personal, after all, than whom you choose to marry that choice tells us, to a large extent, who you are.
Elizabeth Gilbert
Maybe the difference between first marriage and second marriage is that the second time at least you know you are gambling.
Elizabeth Gilbert
This is intimacy: the trading of stories in the dark.
Elizabeth Gilbert
You almost can't wait too long [to get married]. The longer you wait, the better off you are going to be. And the happier your kids are going to be, and the happier a mom you are going to be.
Elizabeth Gilbert
