More quotes by Elizabeth Gilbert
You need to learn how to select your thoughts just the same way you select your clothes every day. This is a power you can cultivate. If you want to control things in your life so bad, work on the mind. That's the only thing you should be trying to control.

There's this great kind of spooky dance that happens that I can't access any other way. I think most of us are given kind of one pathway to that dance, and that's why I'm a writer. It's the only way I can get there. I can't do it through art, I can't do it through singing, I can't do it through mothering, I can't do it through invention.
Elizabeth Gilbert
Everything really is going to be okay. (And if not okay, then at least comic.)
Elizabeth Gilbert
How could two people who were so in love not end up happily ever after? It had to work. Didn’t it?
Elizabeth Gilbert
There are times when the only access I have to the truest person that I am is when I'm alone and trying to solve a sentence. It's exciting, even when it's frustrating, even when I can't do it right.
Elizabeth Gilbert
It used to be that god was revealed in the wonders of nature now God was being challenged by those same wonders. Scholars were now required to choose one side or the other.

A fish and a bird may indeed fall in love, but where shall they live?
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
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
With each reunion (we) had to learn each other all over again. There was always that nervous moment at the airport when I would stand there waiting for him to arrive, wondering, Will I still know him? Will he still know me?
Elizabeth Gilbert
Life's metaphors are God's instructions.
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
It's what I call the haute couture, high-end version of fear perfectionism. It's just fear in really good shoes. But it's still fear.
Elizabeth Gilbert
I am not an expert at praying, as you know. But can you please help me? I am in desperate need of help. I don't know what to do. I need an answer. Please tell me what to do.
Elizabeth Gilbert
I am the planet's most affectionate life-form, something like the cross between a golden retriever and a barnacle.
Elizabeth Gilbert
Liz, you must be very polite with yourself when you are learning something new.
Elizabeth Gilbert
I have good idea, for if you meet some person from different religion and he want to make argument about God. My idea is, you listen to everything this man say about God. Never argue about God with him. Best thing to say is, 'I agree with you.' Then you go home, pray what you want. This is my idea for people to have peace about religion.
Elizabeth Gilbert
Every intimacy carries secreted somewhere below its initial lovely surfaces, the ever-coiled makings of complete catastrophe.
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.
