More quotes by Elizabeth Gilbert

Elizabeth Gilbert
You have the opposite of poker face. You have like.. miniature golf face.

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
I was perfectly happy in my boring life before you came along.
Elizabeth Gilbert
I want to explore the art of pleasure in Italy, the art of devotion in India and, in Indonesia, the art of balancing the two.

Elizabeth Gilbert
Unfenced by law, the unmarried lover can quit a bad relationship at any time. But you - the legally married person who wants to escape doomed love - may soon discover that a significant portion of your marriage contract belongs to the State, and that it sometimes takes a very long while for the State to grant you your leave.
Elizabeth Gilbert
Take me someplace where we can be silent together.
Elizabeth Gilbert
Watch for the people whose eyes light up when you talk about your dream. Those are the people you keep.
Elizabeth Gilbert
Richard didn't even have time to ask if I thought I'd ever amount to anything in this life before I looked him eye to eye and said, I already have, mister.
Elizabeth Gilbert
True power comes from standing in your own truth and walking your own path.
Elizabeth Gilbert
The reality, certainly in my life, is that we all have love stories that go terribly wrong we all have horribly broken hearts. And somehow we endure. We're not destroyed by it.
Elizabeth Gilbert
I am a better person when I have less on my plate.
Elizabeth Gilbert
Let your conscience be your guide.
Elizabeth Gilbert
My mom is a master gardener and I grew up on a farm. I came back to it really late in life and discovered that despite how lazy and inattentive I was as a child, I had managed to accidentally learn quite a bit about gardening.
Elizabeth Gilbert
In a world of disorder and disaster and fraud, sometimes only beauty can be trusted. Only artistic excellence is incorruptible. Pleasure cannot be bargained down. And sometimes the meal is the only currency that is real.
Elizabeth Gilbert
Given that life is so short, do I really want to spend one-ninetieth of my remaining days on earth reading Edward Gibbon?
Elizabeth Gilbert
Time -- when pursued like a bandit -- will behave like one always remaining one country or one room ahead of you, changing its name and hair color to elude you, slipping ou the back door of the motel just as you're banging through the lobby with your newest search warrant, leaving only a burning cigarette in the ashtray to taunt you.
