More quotes by Elizabeth Gilbert
You have now reached infatuation’s final destination—the complete and merciless devaluation of self.
Elizabeth Gilbert
We set up one rule in our house, which is, 'Guests of guests cannot bring guests.' That rule was required because that happened one weekend, and we finally said, 'Okay, you know what? That's a little too much.'
Elizabeth Gilbert
Reality has taught us that no woman can build an honest life without sacrificing something along the way. Deciding what will be sacrificed is not easy.
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
The idea that a prisoner would confess to a complete stranger that he had committed a crime - I just didn't buy that.
Elizabeth Gilbert
I'm afraid many women do choose the wedding over the marriage. It seems a steep price to pay, but it comes from a place of deep, sad longing to be loved and to have it proven that you are of value.
Elizabeth Gilbert

Elizabeth Gilbert
I equal parts loved him and could not stand him. I couldn't wake him to share in my distress.
Elizabeth Gilbert
A fish and a bird may indeed fall in love, but where shall they live?
Elizabeth Gilbert
As a writer, you always read in two minds: You read as a reader and you enjoy it, and you look at it as a writer, and you just admire the architecture and the construction.
Elizabeth Gilbert

Elizabeth Gilbert
The whole sphere of air that surrounds us, Alma, is alive with invisible attractions — electric, magnetic, fiery and thoughtful. There is a universal sympathy all around us… When we cease all argument and debate — both internal and external — our true questions can be heard and answered…That is the gathering of magic.
Elizabeth Gilbert
I am a better person when I have less on my plate.
Elizabeth Gilbert
I've never seen any life transformation that didn't begin with the person in question finally getting tired of their own bullshit.
Elizabeth Gilbert
As I got older, I discovered that nothing within me cried out for a baby. My womb did not seem to have come equipped with that famously ticking clock. Unlike so many of my friends, I did not ache with longing whenever I saw an infant. (Though I did ache with longing, it is true, whenever I saw a good used-book shop)
Elizabeth Gilbert
I know this simple fact to be true, for I myself have abandoned people who did not want me to go, and I myself have been abandoned by those whom I begged to stay.
Elizabeth Gilbert
Attraversiamo (meaning Lets cross over in Italian)
Elizabeth Gilbert
A true soul mate is probably the most important person you'll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake.
